    Reading all of your religion lenses has been a pleasure....you always share so much great information in such an organized fashion. I've also featured this lens on my World Religion Quiz lens (http://www.squidoo.com/quiz-test-your-religious-knowlege). Thanks again!

    Phillip Moffitt, Buddhist meditation teacher, author, Co-Guiding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and former editor-in-chief of Esquire magazine, has just launched dharmawisdom.org, a resource helping individuals live a values-based spiritual life in alignment with Buddhist principles.

    Jack Kornfield, founder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and one of the leading Buddhist teachers in America says, “Phillip is one of our best Buddhist teachers, wise, deep and compassionate- worth paying attention to.”

    Moffitt says of the Web site and his intention in creating it: “It is important for people to know that they can find freedom and well-being in life, just as it is. My hope is that the Web site will inspire you to cultivate a mindfulness practice and that it will be a resource to you in living mindfully throughout your day.”

    I have often thought that if ever I followed a religion it would be Buddhism

    Wow this is a detailed lens Very good work I think for me one key point in the Eight fold path is "Right Livelihood"
    Squidoo allows us all to earn a living learning and writing about things we love. Now THATS good Karma :):)

    Excellent info! I'm just beginning to explore Buddhism, having recently finished reading Radical Acceptance - Embracing Your Life With The Heart Of A Buddha by Tara Brach (possibly the best book I've read this year, maybe ever!). I'm not sure where to start though and your lens has been a great help! Namaste.

    That was interesting. I see karma and rebirth as being the only thing that makes sense in religion to me. This way everything is 'sorted out' in it's own time and explains much of the suffering as well as good fortune.

    I particularly like Lama Surya Das' book, "Awakening the Buddha Within", that you reference above. Really great read and very insightful. Thanks so much for the advice on my new lens, I really appreciate it!

    I haven't made one about that, no. I had no idea those existed. Perhaps you should make a lens about that?
  • Sonia_Gallagher Apr 23, 2009 @ 7:11 pm | delete
    Very informative lens! It would be good to know about the free/donation accepted Vipassana Meditation retreats available in the US. Perhaps this is is another one of your lenses?

    Well, Katinka -- I have to say you are educating me! As usual, your lens is very well done with lots of information and links to more information for people who seek it.

    I say it is BOTH a religion and a philosophy. Very nice overview of Buddhism for the non-Buddhist. *****
  • spirituality Oct 6, 2008 @ 10:03 am | delete
    Great question. Turned it into a squidoo lens :)

    Is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy?.
  • Margo_Arrowsmith Oct 6, 2008 @ 9:20 am | delete
    I have seen raging debates about whether or not Buddhism is a religion or not. My stance is that while it can be practiced secularly, it is a religion, what do you think?

    Hi there! I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that California's legalized same-sex marriage is at risk. There's a referendum on the November ballot to block it, so we have to be sure to VOTE NO on 8, VOTE NO on HATE! If you live in or have friends or family who live in California, please get them registered to vote! We must not lose this one, otherwise same-sex marriage in other states will surely fail. Visit my profile (http://www.squidoo.com/no8) for more info.
    Thanks!

    A really nice compliment to this page might be some articles on Zen Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. I also like to read about women and Buddhism.
