Buddhism

I don't know where you live and I don't know what your schedule is but if you could ever get a long weekend or a week off I recommend Wat Metta in Escondido (San Diego).

You can bring a sleeping bag and stay for free and practice meditation and get all the Buddhist materials in English you want. What makes this monastery so unusual is that all of the monks are American. The abbot, Phra Jeff, lived in Thailand for 20 years. Its a very disciplined temple. For example a novice monk must show their intent by living in a tent for a year (San Diego has moderate temperature) before being accepted as a Monk.

The Buddhist teacher that makes the most sense to me (and avoids all of the superstition that is often attached to local Buddhist sects) is Bhikkhu (teacher) Buddhadasa (pronounced Buddhatat) and would encourage you to read anything you can get.
