Give your 5 best links on Buddhism

Post by Leon-nl »

The idea of this thread is to have a look at your buddhist links and name your 5 (less is ok, not more please in order to give others a chance, too) most favorite/helpful links. Of course I can't control it, but I kindly ask you to post just once.
Try to give links that are not obvious: Everybodybody knows Access to insight and Buddhanet already :-)

Here are mine:

1. A SUMMARY OF THE 152 SUTTAS
OF THE
MAJJHIMA NIKAYA

2. Forest Dhamma:

4. Reading Faithfully

5. Leigh Brasington's Web Site

Now it is up to you!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

I've found the collection of videos on this Youtube Channel very helpful.

Thank you, Bhante Dhammanando. Several interesting new links for me, and yes, Buddhasāsanā Page should not be forgotten in a collection of links.
