Thank you for this resource. I am a software engineer and Buddhism-curious, but I've never taken the plunge into full on practice. I think I would like to though. Over many years of reading about Buddhism, contemplating the teachings and listening to various teachers, my conviction is growing.
- supertofu 3y agoHighly recommend the Dhamma Talks given Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings on youtube and zoom by Clear Mountain Monastery https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCazJbUOGWBpBVXU8Rv2gwsws https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCazJbUOGWBpBVXU8Rv2gwsws). The two monks have both been ordained for over 10 years, youngish (30s), intellectual, progressive, and deeply compassionate. They are in the process of creating the monastery, and it's amazing and inspiring to watch the community grow. Best wishes on the path! It's a beautiful and healing training for the mind.

- swayvil 3y agoBuddhist meditation is good. It's like tripping except you have control over it. And there's no ceiling.
- jes 3y agoI wish you success on your journey, wherever it takes you. Six years of practice for me, first in Mahayana Buddhism, then into Advaita Vedanta. Can recommend teachers like Rupert Spira, Francis Lucille, and the late Alan Watts.
