A "biddhist?" Well, to become a biddhist, you have to start the bidding.

Buddhism is about overcoming your desires. So if you desire to become a Buddhist, you are already on the wrong path. Indeed, so long as you're on a path, you're on the wrong path. There is no goal, no destination in Buddhism. Even the desire for Nirvana has to be overcome. As soon as you have overcome all your desires, you are a true Buddhist. Indeed, you will then be a Buddhist Master.
On second thought, you must not even desire to overcome your desires. You must not even desire to overcome the desire to overcome your desires. Or rather: you may desire all these things, but you should do so without attachment. Buddhism is all about detachment. You are freed from the fruits of your deeds as soon as you do not care about them anymore. Let the fruits drop. Be the tree.

Not sure what a Biddhist is, but if you want to become Buddhist why not visit one of their temples or do some research on the web.

depending on where you live you can find a buddhist temple, but in the library there should be books, but i ahve heard that the book "life of pi" is a good book to read, personally i have not read it... good luck

First of all, you might want to properly spell the religion
next, i would research ALL faiths and religions to find what you want to blieve.
Finally, look into being a Christian.

well there's the directory at http://buddhanet.net/worlddir.htm
to find a temple and a teacher or at least a meditation group. You simply do the practice and see what comes up.
