What is Buddhist Forums
Buddhist Forums was started as a means of allowing old and new students of Buddhism to connect in a meaningful way to discuss Buddhist topics in an open, friendly and supportive environment.

The main aim of Buddhist Forums is to facilitate the learning experience of Buddhism and, to have a place for Buddhists to hang out on the internet. It is open to everyone.

All views are welcome but, please remember this is a Buddhist forum not a general spiritual forum. If someone does reply to your post suggesting your view might be incorrect with their traditions view, do not get upset but, rather engage in polite debate. However to avoid this as much as possible please ensure you post question to the correct forum.


If you would like to read about the benefits of philosophical debate in Buddhism, read Loden Jinpa's blog post Buddhism as Philosophy.

Forums Rules:
1: Be helpful, friendly and supportive in every post you write.
