Slow down....

I wonder if I should be reading Buddhism forums at this point, especially with conflicting opinions and advice. Some say get a teacher right away, some say wait and get a feel for it exploring the different traditions.

I love the book 'Peace is Every Step' by Thich Nhat Hanh. Opinions are unanimous in the online Buddhism community that any book by him is excellent. Even my hubby who saw him in a Life of Buddha DVD said he's a 'nice wee man'. He even wants to listen to his audiobooks even though he has no intention of practicing Buddhism.

So I'll focus on the basics right now and try to stay off forums. Plenty to work on with my practices and books.
