I wanted to know what budhism is exactly and it's basic teachings. The Joseph Cambell tapes make me want to learn more of the budhist faith.

As with Christianity there are several major schools of thought in Buddhism. Wikipedia has a nice overview. My personal thought is that Zen is of particular importance to Jedi.

Is zen budhism the specific one that Cambell speaks of or is he speaking of the in general idea of budhism?

Hm... I forget which Buddhism Campbell speaks of, but... in general, the difference between ordinary Buddhism and Zen Buddhism is the inclusion of Taoism (in Zen), Taoism being very influential to Jedi in itself. Think Tao=Force, and you have a general idea, though a few details are a bit different.

A path to enlightenment, constructive interference, resonance, or just a flower.

Zen Buddhism is turning a jug full of water upside down and watching the water fall out.
