    Okay -- here's the secret to Buddhism -->

    Go to Borders Bookstore and from time to time, read a book on Buddhism.

    There are meditation groups and retreats, but many of us simply read a book from time to time to learn more about the philosophy.

    There aren't really prayers or worship.

    May I suggest --"Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life" by Thich Nhat Hanh

    as a good starting point.

    • such a good author! "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" is also a great book by Thich Nhat Hanh.
