Should you Put Off Learning Buddhism until You Are No Longer Busy with Worldly Affairs?

Of course not. None of us know when we will leave this world and how much time we have. He need to learn the basic principles of Buddhism that Shakyamuni Buddha taught concerning the nature of reality and what we must do to leave the sufferings of Samsara and what we need to do to become holy and liberated beings.

Erroneous View # 24:  THE VIEW THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO PUT OFF LEARNING BUDDHISM UNTIL YOU ARE NO LONGER BUSY WITH WORLDLY MATTERS
Some people think, “I am so busy now. I will wait until I finish the work I am doing before I learn Buddhism,” or “I will wait until my business is well developed before I learn Buddhism,” or “I will wait until I am little older and retire before I learn Buddhism.” As soon as you think like that, you immediately plant the seed of degeneration. That seed was planted right at the moment you generated such a view. Learning Buddhism has to start right away. Correct thinking has to be established right away. You should start right now at this moment while I am giving this discourse. Because there is no fixed date when a person dies, you do not know on which day you will die.
