this is a two part question.
1. i have been thinking of converting to buddism, but i dont really know enough about the religon. i was wonering if anyone can give me information on it or tell me where to get some information on buddism.

2. my mom is a really strict christian. im sure how to tell her that i want to convert.

any advice on either of these questions would be really helpful. i'll rate 5's for good answers.

i am buddhist, been so my entire life. i just wanted to say that ;]

i do agree with what the other person said, about how you want to convert to a religion you dont know enough about.. to learn more about buddhism, try going to the library and taking out books on buddhism, AND hinduism. i say hinduism too because buddhism started from that religion. and ofcourse, you can always google it and find stuff about it on the internet. find local buddhist temples, talk to monks. i know my religion well because my dad was a monk in cambodia. and i guess the only other way to know more is by talking to other buddhists.

and about your mom being christian, i went to a catholic high school and i am attending a catholic college, and catholics and christians are to respect other peoples religions even if its not their own. but before you speak to your mom about converting, just make sure you know all about buddhism and thats what you really want to do.
