I'm interested in buddhism, but only certain aspects. I was wondering if I could get some recs. I don't like anything spiritualistic. I'm interested in ideas like eliminating desire, impermanence, and avoiding pleasures/suffering. I know the spiritualism is unlikely to be totally avoided, but I'd like as little as possible.

If everything we do produce suffering, even if we don't do anything at all...is really abstention the ultimate way?
