I have been sharing about Buddhism for the past 10 years and have written many articles along the way. I thought it would be useful to bring some of them together, rework them where necessary, and arrange them into a logical sequence for anyone who is interested in Buddhism but doesn’t know where to begin.

This course is designed to give you some basic Buddhist knowledge, one chapter at a time. No previous knowledge is required, and you don’t need to be a Buddhist to take part. Simply start with Chapter 1, read the article, and try the short quiz at the end.

This is a work in progress. I will continue adding chapters as I sort through and adapt my existing articles for the course.

There are no fees, no registration and no requirements. Just read, learn and explore at your own pace.

Thanks for being a pioneer in reading this course. I hope you enjoy the journey!
