Are there any particular religions you are interested in first?
Give us a place to start. Smiley

Well its between Buddhism and Paganism right now. Both interest me equally. Hard to choose which to research first.

... Paganism isn't a religion. It's an umbrella term to encompass several. Which Pagan religion are you after?

Well I knew that paganism wasn't a religion.  I had meant that I want to learn about all the religions that fall under it.

Try Which Witch is Which? by Telesco.


There is also Pagan Paths by Jennings ... it's concise and not a bad read.

Buddhism for Beginners by Thubten Chodron is a good place to start with Buddhism I believe. It's what I first read when exploring the religion and I thought it was helpful and easy to understand.

I have delayed in answering because I wanted to try and think of one book that would not only explain the basic precepts of Buddhism but also talk about the different sects.
I went through my bookshelves without luck, I'm afraid.

I do have some links to sites on the internet that might help.

http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/qanda01.htm

http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/sects.htm

I hope this gives you some of the answers you are looking for.

Good luck. Smiley
