Read the Tao Te Ching (pronounced, DOW De Ching).
"The ideas "difficult" and "easy" support each other.
"Long" and "short" define each other.
"High" creates "low"
"Tone" creates "noise"
"Before" creates "after"
"Have" creates "don't have"This is why the Sage acts without effort and teaches without words.
New things are created and the Sage just accepts them.
Things fade away and the Sage accepts that too.

also "Be Here Now" was very insightful to me and a few close friends. I think it's like $9 on Amazon.

I read "The Tibettan Book of Living and Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche and thought it was good.
Seems like a bit of a basic introduction to it for Westerners if that's what you are into

Japanese tv series based on ancient Chinese mythology, made into a satirical book by Wu Ch'êng-ên in the 16th century - it traces the origins of buddhism back to india. Awesome book, very funny.
