Which website would be the best to learn about Buddhism?

Question

There are so many, which one would you consider the best for someone who would like to start learning more about it

Answer 1

www.buddhanet.net

This is an excellent resource, with a guided self-study course, and links to most of the important texts.

Please ignore the ignorance and prejudice of the first answer.

Love and Respect

Answer 2

Well, abetterfate beat me to the answer I would give: buddhanet is a very good resource for people new to study.

I would like to apologies for Leanne(first answer) - she has been around Answers for a while, and is getting increasingly more unpleasant. Look up the Loving-Kindess mediation on buddhanet - it's an wonderful medition, and not just for Buddhists - but when you get there you will see why I have particularly directed you there.

Go well.
