New to buddhism

Post by inthismoment »

I need some people to more thoroughly explain the teachings and give me the run downs on the basics of Buddhist rules. would also love to learn more about the different types of buddhism. It is very complex and I would like to find which branch fits me most.

Greetings and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
I suggest you check out our "Discovering Theravada" forum.
Within that forum is a pinned topic "introductory resources".
It might be something you want to check out.
kind regards,

Ben

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Welcome inthismoment!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
