Thanks so much Santosha. I don't really have any idea what I want from it yet. It really is just a seed planted in my mind at the moment. I think I need more clarity on what Buddhism is, before I can begin to put together any sorts of ideas of what I want to get out of it. I need to know if it's something which is appropriate to me, I suppose!
I will check out the noble truths, the book and Buddhanet when I have a chance to really concentrate (ie, when my little people aren't around me!) I just googled and we do actually have a Buddhist centre very close to us, and they run different classes around us. I might need to try to get to one!
