Welcome to Buddhism.net
At Buddhism.net, we hope to help you 1) learn Buddhism, 2) develop a practice, and 3) discover teachers and communities. We aspire to reach one billion people, so with you here, we only have 999,999,999 more to go.
Buddhism.net is cross-sectarian. We focus on early Buddhism, while at the same time, actively learning from all sects of Buddhism. Yeah, we get the best of both worlds. Being cross-sectarian also means we’re friends with everyone, because hey, that’s just how we are.
We are delighted to have you. Please stay for tea. (Except, this being a website, you provide your own beverage, sorry.)

Meng and Soryu carefully pored over the entirety of the early Buddhist canon to present you the Buddhism for All web series, featuring the essentials about Buddhism that everyone needs to know.
The Buddhism for All project started as a book of that title (available on Amazon or wherever books are sold). It has been reviewed and vetted by great Buddhist masters and scholars, and personally blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. We created the web series to share the content for free with everyone in the world, so people don’t have to pay to access the Buddha’s precious teachings.
Enjoy!

About Buddhism
What is Buddhism?
Is Buddhism a religion? Is it a philosophy? Is it a way of life? The Buddha gave a surprisingly simple answer: “What I teach is the nature of suffering, and liberation from suffering.”
At its core, Buddhism is a collection of teachings that enables a profound understanding of why we suffer, and a family of powerful practices that facilitates total liberation from all suffering. That is it.
We explore Buddhism in detail in the Learn Buddhism section.
Is Buddhism awesome?
We think that Buddhism is the most awesome thing ever. It is logical, science-friendly and inclusive. It is highly effective at resolving suffering, and at cultivating inner joy. It relies not on blind faith, but on inquiry and understanding. It does not require you to worship any god, nor does it require you to not worship any god. Thus it is highly effective for anybody regardless of their religion, or lack thereof.
Again, we explore everything in more detail in the Learn Buddhism section.
Why should I care?
Because Buddhism helps you increase your happiness and reduce your suffering in your daily life, in a science-friendly manner, that does not require you to have a religion, or to not have a religion. It is the best spiritual practice for the modern world. Like we said, it is the most awesome thing ever. Ever.
Yes, that too is in the Learn Buddhism section.
Where do I start?
