Please forgive me if I have put up too many threads. I know I have put up a lot. I am not trying to dominate the forum. I hope I don't seem like i'm trying to.

I just have read articles that don't agree about how to become a Buddhist. I was told by some before on this website that there is no set way to become a Buddhist and that you don't have to do any certain ritual. However, this website says that if you don't have acess to a monk that you need to look at a statute or image or the Buddha and say this formula in Pali. I think it says you have to bow too. I am confused. This is the webiste. Is this accurate?
