Welcome RBW !

I think as far as Buddhist studies are concerned, it would be a good idea for you to first investigate the core teachings of the historical Buddha.

Near the start of the topic list in this Beginners forum, we have a resource that I recommend you look at to begin with.

'What is Buddhism' ( a short MP3 with accompanying text):

http://www.dhammasukha.org/Study/Tal...T-MAR03-TS.htm

A good place for a general study guide is Buddhanet's 'Buddhist Studies':

http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/index.htm

We also have a read-only Study Links section here near the bottom of the main forums page . I recommend that you look at the various resources in the Meditation thread there, particularly at Ajahn Jayasaro's 'Buddhist Meditation' videos at You Tube, of which this one is the 2 minute introduction.

Otherwise please feel free to ask us questions in the Beginners forum and we'll do our best to reply according to our own understanding.

with kind wishes
