Hi everyone,
I'm Camilla and I'm a Buddhist by birth. I'm turning 25 this year and am studying International Business and also run an online business selling women's fashion. I have been practicing Buddhism since I was a child (my parents are very religious). I'm a vegan and embrace compassion with all my heart
I want to learn about Buddhism in the English language. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia but have been associated religiously through the Vietnamese language all my life. I don't know any Buddhist terms in English so cannot understand the translation into Vietnamese.
I hope you can all help me grow and blossom into a more knowledgeable Buddhist, and may we all find the path to enlightenment.
Greetings from down under :)

Welcome Camilla! I hope you find what you are looking for and please let me know if I can be of any assistance! Mettaya.
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Hi Camilla and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Welcome, Camilla, from another Aussie ... nearly halfway to Vietnam from where you are, but still an Aussie
You mentioned wanting to learn the English terms and it reminded me of this (free online) introductory book http://www.goodquestiongoodanswer.net/content.php. It is available in both English and Vietnamese, so maybe you could read and cross-check?

Welcome Camilla!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.
