Buddhist online social networks?

Are there any online Buddhist social networks


or websites where you can ask experienced Buddhist meditators questions about your meditation practise?


Any advice would be much appreciated.

Buddhist online social networks?
Beliefnet has a pretty extensive variety of Buddhist forums. There are different types of what is considered "Buddhist" meditation. I mean, basically, you can put them all into one of two basic categories - Vipassana or Samatha (Samadhi). Eventually each gets you to the same place...actually any religions's meditative tradition (as long as it is truly meditation) will get you to the same place. EEGs have shown similar to identical patterns regardless of religious practice. There's really no way anyone can "teach" you how to meditate especially since if they tell you too much, you won't have certain insights for yourself. It takes a LOT of practice and a lot of committment because you won't see much difference for a pretty long time. (I think I spend the first two or three years I meditated thinking, "Am I doing this right?" Other people may notice differences in you before you do. More calm, more balanced, more focused...
