Well thank you… Canadian Weblog Awards

2011 January 1

What a way to celebrate a 5th year blogeversary!

I just read that Full Contact Enlightenment came in second for a 2010 Canadian weblog award in the category for Religion, Spirituality and Philosophy.

2010 Canadian Weblog Awards

I’m thrilled to have been nominated and really humbled to have actually placed within the top 3. There aren’t all that many buddhabloggers here up north so I want to take this opportunity to list the few that I am aware of and hopefully add to the pool of nominees for this award next year.

Khandro.net was one of the very first websites I encountered on the net when researching Tibetan Buddhism and continues to be an essential and valued resource for its vast number of links and in-depth listings of teachings.This site sets the standard for educational Buddhablogs.

Sumeru Books maintain a data-rich blog with a wide selection of news relating to Buddhism in Canada. They are currently collecting any available resources that document the history of Canadian Buddhism so if you have anything of interest, please send it there way.

Spirit of Rebellion has its roots in the Dharma Punx movement and speaks much to social justice, engaged Buddhism and life both on and off the cushion. Well-written, deeply philosophical and peppered with personal reflections on the path, this blog shows what it is like to walk the world with a tender heart.

It’s all yoga,baby while not “explicitly or exclusively” Buddhist, is a Montreal-based blog run by a kindred spirit who casts a critical, yet compassionate view on modern yoga and the various ways that media, society and individuals co-opt, mangle and distort its teachings. It’s much like the yoga sister to Rod Meade Sperry’s blog - The Worst Horse.

If I neglected to mention any other Canadian Buddhist or spiritual blogs, please leave me a note in the comments and I’ll be sure to check it on and share it with others in a future blog post. I’m always on the hunt for new blogs to read.

    Congrats, Tanya! And happy 5th!

    There are about ten Canadian Buddhist blogs (including yours) that I am aware of and have listed on my blogroll. Hover the cursor on the name and it will indicate “Canadian content.”

      Thanks for aggregating all of the fellow Canucks in one place. You put together quite a list and helped me to find a few I wasn’t aware of :)
