Any regular basic Buddhism teachings for beginners ?

[only1]

In Bangkok especially ?

Thailand may not be the right country to look for buddhist teachings.

Take a trip to Europe, and walk into any library there.

Why ?

I am surprised a country like Thailand don't give basic classes to the public.

[nidieunimaitre]

And what would they teach in those classes in Thailand?

Real buddhism? About non attachment to material possessions? About pacifism? Would that not conflict with Thai reality?

I read a lot about buddhism before I came to Thailand. I came to the conclusion that there is a basic flaw in it, and that buddhism is not for me, but I can respect it.

However I can not respect Thai buddhism.

Just like I can not respect Blair / Bush christianism.

The Buddhist Education Foundation (Taiwan) has many books on Buddhism - many levels, many languages, many schools.

But be aware, they are for FREE distribution.

nid,

What basic flaw do you find in.Buddhism ?

I heard about flaws , claims debunked by science and logic defying claims in Christianity, but not Buddhism.

I mean if a flawed religion like Christianity can give weekly talk, why not Buddhism ?

I doubt that they have an address in BKK.

It is based in Taiwan & their mission is to deliver literature relating to all schools of Buddhism in a variety of languages.

Their service is free. What have you got to lose? Read it, pass it on.

Because I will be in Bangkok, I thought I could just collect them personally and save postage charges,for all parties.

AYJAYDEE,

According to their website, there is nothing shorter than 10 days.

They post by ship for free. A delivery takes about 3 months.
