Yes I am a western version of a Buddhist. The Asian Buddhists are different from what they call 'white Buddhists'. Read Buddha's teachings at the source. Then, if you decide this is for you then you are a Buddhist too. Talk to every Buddhist you can find. Most places have a Buddhist temple, go there. They are usually friendly.

I am not Practicing, but I have studied it.
It is a very peacefull religion, I learned about it through books and research, but another good place to go, if your town has one, a buddist temple would be more than happy to give you some information. Good luck on your quest. Hope it works out for you,
