Hello all, my name is Ben, I'm 23 years old with a few years of college under my belt, as well as an insatiable fascination with the Theravada and Thai Forest Tradition and Buddhism in general. I became interested in Eastern thinking after reading and listening to talks and reading books from Alan Watts and Ram Dass, so needless to say I am still relatively new to Buddhism. I'm currently working my way through reading The Wings to Awakening from Thanissaro Bhikku and have found it to be intriguing so far, I've also got a few other books in line waiting to be read (Mindfulness in Plain English is one I'm especially excited to dig into!).
This place seems great and I hope to meet some great new internet-faces as well as further my practice.

Food for the Heart: The Collected Sayings of Ajahn Chah is incredible. I'd really recommend it.

I'll keep that book in mind, I've read good things about Ajahn Chah. (:
