[Lenkapuppia]

There is no set way to become one, and don't be discouraged because you don't have a Sangha near you, having Buddhist friends (on this forum including Mio is just as good) is just as good. How I practice is by practicing loving kindness towards everyone even the people that most of society would deem "bad" or "evil". Did you know that we are born naturally good but as we grow up the worlds defilements is what turns us bad? The Buddha said that if we are not told that then we would not know. There is no one that is born naturally "bad". Practicing loving kindness towards everyone and patience you gradually wash away your impurities. "Little by little the wise one fills himself full, drop by drop the cup is filled." -The Buddha. There is a book called "Discourses by the Buddhas disciples." It's a very systematic book of the Buddhas teachings that his followers remembered and it's supposed to be what the Buddha said. Hope that helps.
