Hello,
Great to hear that you are interested in Buddhism. Buddhism is not a supertiscious religion. Buddha taught us the way to free from rebirth and sufferring. The cause of rebirth is due to ignorance, craving and clinging.

Buddha taught us to do offerrings, keep precepts and practice meditation. These are the three main things that we need to practice inorder to be free from rebirth.

You can go to Buddhist Missionary Society at Brickfried, KL. to learn the teaching of Buddha. I will try to get the address for you to visit a place at Kajang where monks are practicing meditation.

From.

Respected members of this forum,

My name is Sukhdev Singh, male aged 44, living in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I learnt about this forum
through the Theravada-my (yahoo group) forum. I am
very intersted to learn Pali.

I am new in the Dhamma, about just over three months.
No one introduced it to me. I just happened to come
across some Buddhist literature while trying to seek
some facts of life by studying my native religion,
Sikhism, as well as some western philosophy.

I think that it was the shockingly intelectual and
empirical nature of the Buddha's methods and
viewpoints that hooked me.

Mentally, I have already rejected almost everything
about my native religion, Sikhism. It simply doesn't
answer all the questions. All it tells you to do is
to be more obedient and more devoted to the "Guru".
To do that, you have to stop asking questions and put
more effort into devotion, something I got extrememly
tired of doing.

Just these three months of reading of the Buddha's
methods and viewpoints has taught me more about life
than all the Sikhism (or even philosophy) I have ever
studied and all the devotional practices that I have
ever carried out.

Praise be to The Enlightened One
Praise be to The Path to Enlightenment
Praise be to The Community of The Enlightened

Thank you

Sukhdev Singh
