I was doing some research on Buddhism, mostly because I had a burst of inspiration for an old Novel Project Idea and I figured I’d post up a few links I found. Now, something to keep in mind, Buddhism as a research topic is ENORMOUS, the first time I tried researching it I was completely overwhelmed (and I hadn’t even started writing the novel either, I still haven’t written it come to think of it), I’ll just be posting up links and books that cover the basics (so to speak)
Buddhism For Dummies
Buddhism For Dummies – Cheat-Sheet
Oriental Mythology (The Masks of God #2) by Joseph Campbell
An Illustrated Outline of Buddhism: The Essentials of Buddhist Spirituality by William Stoddart
Basic Buddhism Guide: A Five Minute Introduction
There’s also Buddhism organisations such as:
Melbourne Buddhist Centre
Buddhist Council of Victoria
I’ll post up more stuff when I learn more, however I figured this would be a good introduction.
