Hi all, This week I am adding to the general resource information on the site, with the following article:

Types of Buddhist Meditation
Meditation is an essential part of Buddhist practice, and there are many different types, ranging from focusing on the breath, to mindfulness, to mandala and mantra meditations.

I have also posted a thread in the forum regarding meditation, asking YOU to share the practices that work for you. If you have not yet registered for the forum, please do so! It is painless, and your information will never be used for anything else. BellaOnline has MANY forums you can participate in. The Buddhist one can be found at:

I am still running the poll on suggested topics, so be sure to check out that thread also.

Finally, please pass this message along to family and friends, so we can continue to build the BellaOnline Buddhism community.

In Peace,
