Buddhism: The Great Subject

Buddhism is THE great subject if you enjoy learning. There are over eighty-four thousand different kinds of teachings!  Students can spend a lifetime studying just one type of teaching. Unlike the Bible, Talmud, and Koran which are fixed, the Buddhist canon is open.  Since anyone may become enlightened, it is also possible for new sermons and parables to be delivered and recorded. This means that if you say something here and now, unique and important, it could be included in the canon!

One of many constants in Buddhism is the desire to have students question everything.  If you are interested in a very popular Buddhist teaching, try A Buddhist Podcast with Jason Jarrett.
