The first step...

It's a bit of cliché I know, but true all the same. And we all have to start somewhere - that is if we think we are going anywhere in life. There are those who go through life blindly, and those "with little dust in their eyes" who can see something beyond the every day grind.

But don't get bogged down in all this Buddhist stuff, for as the Dalai Lama says "Don't try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are."
