Hi.
I've got some interest in Buddhism and like to study it, but am not a practitioner. (Do you have to be a Buddhist to discuss on these forums?)
A Buddhist discussion forum on the Dhamma of the Theravada

Welcome aboard!
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel sshai45 
All the world is on fire, All the world is burning, All the world is ablaze, All the world is quaking. That which does not quake or blaze, That to which worldlings do not resort, Where there is no place for Mara:That is where my mind delights. (SN 5.7)
By degrees, little by little,
from moment to moment,
the wise purify themselves,
as a smith purifies silver.
—Dhammapada 239

Welcome! I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for.
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
