Good morning.

There are many reliable sources of Buddhism on the Internet and, then again, there are a lot that are totally wrong. With this in mind, I can understand why you are posting this message. I agree with poster “Anonymous” (why would anyone answer a general question like this anonymously confounds me especially since I recognize her writing style, but I digress) that it is best to have an authentic face-to-face teacher. But I’m also realistic that in many parts of the world Buddhism is in its infancy so interested people want reliable information from somewhere.

“Anonymous” should remember the words of the Dalai Lama: “The past is past; the future is important. We are the creators...you in the West should be creative in adapting the timeless essence of the Dharma to your own cultural times and circumstances.” [Tenzin Gyatso, quoted by Lama Surya Das, “Emergent Trends in Western Dharma,” in Buddhism in America: Proceedings of the First Buddhism in America Conference (Boston: January 1-19, 1997), ed. Brian D. Hotchkiss (Boston: Tuttle Publishing, 1998) p 552.] Many traditions and lineages even in Vajrayāna (Tibetan) Buddhism are beginning to produce webinars for those of us not fortunate enough to live near Buddhist centers.

Years ago when I went to a Kagyu Meditation Center, I was greeted by a monk and we discussed my belief in Buddhism (call it “trust” if you object to considering Buddhism a belief system) but how difficult it is to locate centers where I live. His advice was “…to focus on the teachings”. He advised me to continue in my readings of the sūtras (sutras) and suttas, their commentaries, and the writings of the masters (he included HH the Dalai Lama in this category) until my teacher found me.

Now to continue. Sati gave you several excellent URLs. There are others but many are dependent upon the tradition and lineage you are practicing. I believe they may somewhat intense at this point and you may want to concentrate on Theravāda sites which are more general.

Bhikkhu Samahita has a Theravāda website http://what-buddha-said.net/index.htm that is worth your visit. This bhikkhu has also begun posting Dhamma video teachings on YouTube that may be of assistance ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Dhamma+on+Air+%23 )

You may also want to visit http://www.suanmokkh.org/index.htm (the website of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu founder of Suan Mokkh in the Theravāda tradition containing free pdf and audio files). There are, as I said, other sites I could recommend but there is a limit in Y!A as to the number of URLs that convert into hyperlinks. These you will have to copy-and-paste the link into your browser:

http://pariyatti.org/ (which also has free downloadable material)

http://www.justbegood.net/

http://www.diydharma.org/DIY-audio has free guided meditation files

http://en.dhammadana.org/main/news.htm (Website in the Theravāda tradition with free e-books, etc,)

http://ajahnbrahm.org/#Top (Ajahn Brahmavamso (aka Ajahn Brahm) has a website that has audio and YouTube teachings in the Theravāda tradition.

If you want those of a specific tradition (e.g., Zen, Ch'an, or Vajrayāna), you may e-mail me through my Y!A link and I will send you more links.

One last thing, it is best to avoid some of the language in your replies to the posts. They smack of anger which is to be controlled according to all traditions of Buddhism. This is my offering to you in Dana.

I hope this helps and enjoy the journey.

The best way to learn about Buddhism is to associate and learn from those who practice Buddhism. Visit local temples, monasteries, and/or groups in your area. The following link may help you find one nearby: http://www.buddhanet.info/wbd/

The Buddhist “learns to watch changes occurring in all physical experiences, in feelings and in perceptions. He learns to study his own mental activities and the fluctuations in the character of consciousness itself. All of these changes are occurring perpetually and are present in every moment of our experiences. Meditation is a living activity, an inherently experiential activity. It cannot be taught as a purely scholastic subject.” (“Mindfulness in Plain English” by Venerable H. Gunaratana Mahayhera, a Theravadan Buddhist teacher)

In other words, no book and no website and no words can teach you what Buddha was talking about.
Buddhism is something you do .. it is an experience, and no words can sum up experience.
After all ... an orgasm is an experience, and no words can convey what an orgasm is like.
In a similar way, no words can teach you Buddhism.

Buddhist teachers teach you how to do the practices and the meditation .. and THESE are what teach you wath Buddhism is about.
It takes 3-10 years to even START to figure out what Buddhism is about ... depending on how diligently you practice, how much emotional courage and self-discipline you have, and how good your teacher is at guiding you.

Most people, on their own without a teacher, never GET the basics of what Buddha meant.

A person can know with certainty the Catholic Church is the One True Church if he or she recites every day with care the angelic psalter of Mary.

~~~ 'Learn about' by reading.
