nidieunimaitre Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thailand may not be the right country to look for buddhist teachings. Take a trip to Europe, and walk into any library there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only1 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why ? I am surprised a country like Thailand don't give basic classes to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nidieunimaitre Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fang37 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The Buddhist Education Foundation (Taiwan) has many books on Buddhism - many levels, many languages, many schools. But be aware, they are for FREE distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only1 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 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 ?

fang37 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 fang37, Where is their address in Bangkok ? 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.
