Newbie from Canada!

Post by Salatier »

Hey everyone, I'm a youngster from Toronto Canada who recently became very interested in Buddhism. I've been reading up on Theravada and think i now have a basic understanding, so now I'd like to learn about Mahayana and Vajrayana, the latter I only learned existed while reading the subheading of this page haha... I'm interested in learning the main differences in the vehicles and can't wait to get started! Glad to meet you all! :)
I'm about to dive into "THE WAY OF THE BODHISATTVA" section, but is there anything anyone else would suggest I read specifically?

Welcome fellow Newbie! Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche is always a good bet too. His books are quite poetic.

Another suggestion-- experiencing, not reading: Go to the Riwoche center in Toronto, and study under Venerable Khenpo Sonam Rinpoche . http://www.riwoche.com/
