A lot of people in my life have been Buddhist. I have a Buddhist temple and a philosophy, but it hasn’t really helped me in terms of understanding Buddhism.

Do you think this is a reason your books are bad?
Yes, Buddhism is a philosophy.
I’m a non christian who read a lot of Buddhist books.
As far as the philosophy, I think they’re good. You can check out [a book review for more details. Not sure how to go about learning more about that book or the philosophy itself.
No, you need nothing to read a book on Buddhism. You might as well just read a book about it and get to know it better.
I’m wondering why not?
I find the concept of Buddhism fascinating. I get why you’d want it as a spiritual religion but I wonder if it is more than just a religion that you want to learn more about? Maybe you want to learn more about the world and to understand something that your parents want to teach you to?
I want to know if this is an unwholesome thing for you.
You should also not think that books are what you are looking for. They can be good, but if they are not read in depth, they can lead you astray. If you want something to study, go to a good school or read it online.
I’m not here to say that Buddhism is wrong. There are many good books as well. If anybody can help me with some of the things I have learned from my life so far, that’s really all that matters.
