Path Resources
WELCOME Non-Facebook Users! / The Path Resources
I realize not everyone uses Facebook. I wanted to create a resource where you would have access to some of the same content we share in the Facebook Group. This will give you the opportunity to still explore the topics and self study. If you have any questions please email us we will be happy to help you on your journey on The Path. I have expanded The Path's content across several social media platforms to reach as many people as possible. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know.
Below is a list of sites and resources we hope you find interesting!

Claire Villarreal , and I'm kind of a professional Buddhist. I want to share the knowledge and experience I've gained through practicing Buddhism since 1997, teaching meditation since 2004, and completing a PhD in Tibetan Buddhism at Rice University in 2015.
The Enthusiastic Buddhist (videos) ... I’m Mindah-Lee Kumar (but you can call me Mindah). I’m passionate about making the Buddha’s teachings easy to understand so you can apply it to your life and quickly experience its great benefits. I’ve been practicing Buddhism for over sixteen years. In that time, I was ordained as a Buddhist nun for three years and I spent a total of three years in solitary meditation retreats.
I hope you’ll join me in exploring this great treasure of the Buddha’s teachings, which brings peace & clarity to the mind, and joy & compassion to one’s heart.
Buddhist Bootcamp ... Buddhism is all about training the mind, and boot camp is an ideal training method for this generation’s short attention span. The chapters in this small book can be read in any order, and are simple and easy to understand. Each story, inspirational quote and teaching offers mindfulness-enhancing techniques that anyone can relate to. You don’t need to be a Buddhist to find this book motivational. As the Dalai Lama says, “Don’t try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.”
Buddhism is an ancient religion based on the teachings of the Buddha (“Awakened One”)—the title given to the Indian spiritual seeker Siddhartha Gautama after he attained enlightenment more than 2,600 years ago. The Buddha’s best-known teachings, the four noble truths and the eightfold path, describe the nature of human suffering and a way to liberate oneself from the existential pains of life and reach nirvana.
These teachings spread from India throughout Asia and eventually the rest of the world. While the broader Buddhist family includes many different schools with their own beliefs and practices, these various traditions share a conviction that one can come to understand the truth of existence by living an ethical life dedicated to spiritual development.
That’s the short answer, but there is a lot more to say about it. Click on the questions below to dive deeper into Buddhist teachings, history, and practices.
