Buddhism, like all the other religions, has a very complicated philosophy. This page helps explains some of the most important basic concepts of Buddhism. I found Buddha's teaching very interesting because they are very abstract in philosophy, but concrete in evidence (our everyday life).

It is a religion of laughter and fun and tries to avoid suffering. This site has some funny stories about the Buddhist concepts.

This is an article on how Buddhism is changing the lives of some inmates behind bars. Buddhism like Islam, aims at chaning the lives of everyday people. Islam is also flourishing in prisons and among low income people who have little hope. Buddhism offers them a more passive answer to suffering, and Islam offers them a way out. Two very interesting and great religions.

It seems that science and religion come in conflict all the times. I think that it was 1992 when the Catholic Church acknowledged the long proven fact that the earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around. But Buddhism may be the only major religion which doesn't seek to answer and scientific questions or set standards. This is a brief but right to the point page about the relationship between Buddhism and science.
