what is buddhism?
January 11th, 2006I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.
—The Dalai Lama
In a need to go back to the basis for my ongoing interest in Buddhism, I’ve come across quite a few online definitions that explain this religion and philosophy:
A Simple Defintion by Friends of the Western Buddhist Order :: Wikipedia’s definition :: An Overview of Buddhism :: A Five Minute Introduction found on Buddha.net :: Here’s one from religioustolerance.org :: And last but not least, a Buddha Intro from someone’s personal site.

Great links… thanks for sharing. I’m also starting to become more and more interested in the subject

I was looking around for links awhile ago when a friend said he was interested in learning more about Buddhism.
Here’s one that I found that I found useful: http://www.pureland-victoria.org/cos/o.x?c=/pureland/section&p=home/Buddhism/&n=Newcomers
There’s a lot there, as well as in the Buddhism area on the same website. Also see the “Take a Break” section.
