Becoming a Buddhist Where to Start

How do I start to become a Buddhist?

Yes, anyone can become a Buddhist. You will need to take refuge in the Triple Gem and follow a ceremony during which you take a vow to uphold the Five Precepts (to not kill, not steal, not commit sexual misconduct, refrain from false speech and not take intoxicants that lessen your awareness).

Where should I start learning Buddhism?

The Four Noble Truths are the basic foundation upon which the Buddha built his teaching. If you are trying to understand the doctrinal framework of Buddhism, that is the place to begin.
