    How to Understand and Learn about Buddhism

  1. Step 1

    Buy a book on Buddhism. This may seem a simple step, but in fact a great way to learn about this way of life is to read about it and understand what principles guide the life of a Buddhist.

  2. Step 2

    Visit a Buddhist monastery. There are Buddhist monasteries all over the world that welcome non Buddhists to stay with them. There is no greater way to learn and experience this way of life than to spend some time with people who have chosen to dedicate themselves to this way of life.

  3. Step 3

    Speak with a Buddhist monk. Many Buddhists monks live in the "real world," and not in a monastery. In fact many Buddhist monks work as counselors, so if you would like to find out more about this way of life, there is no better way than to talk things through with a Buddhist monk.

  4. Step 4

    Start to meditate. Meditation is fundamental to a Buddhist's way of life,s o what better way to lean about Buddhism than to start meditating!
