Buddihist singles?

kicktothehead

So I got to thinking....which is always a bad bad thing...:)

Are there any good places on the web to talk with buddhist singles?
I do not know a single person who meditates...it would be nice meeting some people that do.

Or is this just crazy talk?

Well, finding a local sangha is a good way to find people to talk about meditating with.

if you're looking for dating, sangha can be good for that, too. There's also a website called dharma match (not single, not looking, so I can't give an opinion about it).

You could leave a personal add on craigslist.

Hi Kicktothehead,

If you're single (like me) then that's great, you can spend more time meditating!

If I read your post correctly, that you're looking for a partner with whom you can meditate with, why not try looking for someone who is into yoga or other traditions of meditation? Yoga is quite popular nowdays, from what I understand.

there is an illusion in your face.
forget that idea,

having people to support your practice or combating loneliness is a crutch,
.... an attachment.

....or you have other exaggerated desires...you feel the need to satisfy...:cool:

realize you are intimately connected to everyone, more than most people will ever realize...

I've been spending a long time in.... close to perfect solitude..
A lot of times I catch glimpses of desires, to share, to love, to lust, etc..
with another being...but.......
but you can't die with them...

the most important part of this journey may be the SOLO part, until you pass through this gate-less gate..

Go to a dharma center. Hang out with the people you meet there.
Do you really want to date a Buddhist? Those people are crazy.

you live in mass? you could cruise the "combat zone" in boston.

I sure could use someone to lead me on the right path, as contradicting as that may sound.

I tend to be bad and then whiplash back on to the path.

Such a mama's boy, yet I never listen to her. Poor mother, bless her.

I dunno... being immature is easy.

Aye, and there's the rub. It's easy until we're called to fend for ourselves!
