I've gone right back to the beginning with my study (even though I've never really passed novice stage ) I try to understand and remember the Four Noble Truths and apply the Noble Eightfold Path daily. I also try to adhere to the Precepts. For me thus far, it is enough and I agree with the sentiments that a lot of reading can confuse. I would like to read the Pali Canon, but I do not feel now is the right time. I am busy trying to practise mindfulness meditation each night and to keep Dhamma at the foremost of my mind during the day. Soon I hope to ramp up my practise. :
