[edit] Where to learn the Dharma?

ok the article talks about truth, testing Dhama and proving it for your self, but what the hell is Dhama what source do you turn to to learn about this, this article does not tell you, or am i just stupid. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.47.45.109 (talk • contribs) .

You mean where can you learn about the teachings of the Buddha? Well, the other Wikipedia articles about Buddhism will give you a start. If you live in the London area (which you do according to you IP address), you can seek out a local Buddhist group of which there are many. Some give introductury courses on Buddhism, but most should at least give you access to Buddhists to talk to. Good luck. --Andkaha(talk) 07:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
This response points to a larger problem that confronts many of our Buddhism articles- they are written by Buddhists mainly for the consumption by other Buddhists, which in my view is not very supportive of the Wikipedia mission. I'm attempting to make the WikiProject:Buddhism articles more consumable for non-Buddhists and I'd love if all of your could join me. brain 20:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
