The best online collection of Dhamma articles, essays and books for beginners is available at Binh Anson's BuddhaSasana site. There's stuff there that you rarely see anywhere else, such as Gunaratana's book, Mindfulness in Plain English.

However, the site's home page is a default web server announcement and the mirror site at saigon.com has disappeared. So, better get what you want quickly in case it all vanishes.

Thank you for the link, I will go there.

Thanks, great source of info.

Exactly! To a newbie, like I was just a few brief moments ago, the content on that site serves well and I'm very much in debt. Got quite a few items in hardcopy and on the mp3 player already, but better get ones precious items stored locally while Internet is still accessible from Thailand.
