I understand the basics such as Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Noble Path and Five Precepts and I use them as a guide on how to live an ethical life.

Me too Peen, I've found it difficult to try and understand the Buddha's suttas and other teachings of great masters like Dogen, I would get a mental block when I tried to get my head round them. So now I read them for pleasure rather than for the purpose of education.
