How can you learn about buddhism and convert if?

The Internet is your only source and their are no Buddhist for thousands of miles?

Approach a hot dog vendor and ask him to 'make you one with every thing'

I, myself, am attempting to learn the ways of a Buddhist. I found a website that can really help you learn it, and also just simply try Wikipedia.

After you convert do not forget to treat your previous teachers as you did before.

Hope this helps!

One does not "convert" to Buddhism. Conversion is a Christian concept ... you take the religion on faith, and make a commitment to it.

But with Buddhism, you are not supposed to use faith. You are supposed to do your practice, and after a while you will start to understand what Buddhism is teaching you. Instead of faith, you have knowledge. This is why one does not convert.

Buy some books ... use Amazon.com, where you can buy books cheaply. The Internet is an awful source of information, especially for Buddhism.
For starters, I would read anything by the Dalai Lama or Pema Chodron ... but I practice Tibetan Buddhism. Others who might practice Theravadan Buddhism or Zen would recommend different books. The important thing is that any of these schools will help you move down the path.

Here's a couple Buddhist websites which may be helpful for you in learning about the Path of The Buddha.

*HTTP://www.buddhanet.net/ - go to Buddhist Studies, then on line Buddhist Study guide: a self-study course on Buddhism based on the Historical Buddha, His Teachings, and Buddhist History & Culture.

*HTTP://what-buddha-taught.net/ - Ajahn Chah, Henepola Gunaratana, Ajahn Sumedho {on The Four Noble Truths), Ayya Khema, Thich Nhat Hanh and Bhante Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda {*What Buddhists Believe) are some excellent teachers to learn from.

*I've included a few Buddhist Books, which may also be helpful in learning The Buddha's Path.
