I think your first step is to ask yourself why you want to practice Buddhism? What are you trying to accomplish personal or spiritually? I suggest you go to the temple and ask questions. I was born into a family of Buddist but I did not practice the religion like my family because I did not understand what the chanting meant plus there were so many other religions and I wanted to pick and choose a faith that is suitable for me. After studying the different religions I decided to also study Buddhism more in details and I must tell you all religions have fault. I chose Buddist because it soothing, you don’t have to go to the temple every Sunday, we believe you practice goodness within your home, everywhere you go, and in your everyday life, it simple to follow, and not at confusing. The few teachings that I follow are: 1 – Treat others, as you want to be treat 2 – Respect all creations 3 – No adultery 4 – No stealing, killing, etc 5 – Your life should be balance too much of anything is not good 6 – Treat your body/home like a temple which mean don’t endanger it 7 – Don’t take advance of people 8 – Look within yourself for answers and if you can’t answer it asked God 9 – Help those that need help, if you can. 10 –Reincarnation, which mean when you die you will come back as something else if you did not learn your life lessons with the first time you were on earth. 11 – What go around come around?
