Hi everyone! I stumbled across Bhante Gunaratana's Mindfulness in Plain English about 2 years ago and have read and reread it several times though never started a sustaining meditation practice. About a year ago I picked up his Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness, but still was never able to start a practice. Well now I am re-reading it and hoping this time I actually start something. Because of my current situation I am unable to search out a meditation group or sangha so I am hoping to be able to ask possible questions to this board or gain some pointing in the right direction if I need it. I am grateful to the creators and moderators (not to mention the contributors) for this resource and I hope to grow in my knowledge and spiritual understanding as well as my practice and become helpful to others in return.

Greetings steeltarrow and welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
There are a few of Bhante G's practitioners here and I am sure they will only be too happy to help.
Some other resources here include the Great Meditation Challenge thread. We also have a group at insight timer.com 'Dhamma wheel meditation challenge'. I hope they are of assistance to you.
Kind regards,
Ben
