Hello, Im planing on practicing Buddhism now and I want to know since all of you guys are into Buddhism where I can find scriptures and meditation techniques(spelling?) I also want to know how many times your supposed to meditate and read scriptures in daily life. Thanks for reading this!
Meditate every moment of every day, until you become a living embodiment of the scripture yourself.
...
Don't stress it,
I've never read an entire scripture. I never meditate either, so I suppose I can't answer this rightfully.
However, as I've always heard, it is good to start with everywhere from 15-30 minutes per session, two sessions a day (one in the morning, one at night)
However, this varies.
For example, Zen Buddhism is based HEAVILY on meditation, where other sects may not be.
Scripture is not something to be considered "OHGODYOUTOUCHEDTHESCRIPTUREBURNBURNBURN", "OHGODYOUDONTREADSCRIPTUREENOUGHGETBACKINSIDEANDREEEEEAD" or anything of the sort. This is no mandatory scripture reading time.
Take it slow, learn as it comes.
As for sites for scripture, google it. ;P My favorite is the Nipata Sutra..
