Recommendations for a Newbie

Posts: 2 Join Date: 12/16/24 Recent Posts
I come here humbly, asking for recommendations (reading or otherwise) on becoming more fluent with dharma lingo. I've read through most of MTCTB several times but this has been my only formal introduction to Buddhism and this realm of practice. As I read through a lot of threads, I'm completely inspired but also ignorant to a lot of the language being used. If anyone has a recommendation for a comprehensive reading to help jumpstart my studies, I'd be grateful!

Thanks!

Hey Julie, 

What kind of meditation/ Buddhism are you interested in? 

There's only really a couple of books here that get recommended super frequently. 

They are:
Seeing that frees
Wake up to your life
Moon in a dewdrop

​​​​​​​All are fantastic for beginner and advanced meditator. 

You can read the Suttas over on suttacentral.net. 

​​​​​​​Some of the Guru Viking podcasts with Daniel Ingram may help ground you in the information presented in mctb.
