If I wanted to learn more about budhism, esp. Theravada (sic). Are there any good books for dummies or something, to get started with. Are there any websites?
Thanks in advance

I've read both the Idiot's and Dummies books on Buddhism. I find one better than the other - I forget which - but both were very informative, and I found them a good starting place to understand the concept of it without getting too deep into one type or another.

Go to Goggle and type in the religion your interested in. Many websites will show up. Pick whatever one touches you and check it out. Often while viewing a website there will be links that will catch your eye........follow them :-) Enjoy your search.

Most older Traditional Asians, and by older I mean 60's or older, are either Buddhists or Confucianisms, and a good source for study.

Just search google, visit some local libraries, or search for some forums.
