Thankyou for your answer. I know of Insight Timer but not sure if they will allow me to conduct a survey on their groups.

Dear Samana, We all have our own ways to share the Dhamma. I am a householder practicing Right Livelihood.

Selling Dhamma, make a living on the Gems? Such would be wrong livelihood, very wrong, good householder. Look for right, for own long term happiness.

<p>I am working on wearable tech for meditation. I need to conduct a market research survey for the same. I understand that I cannot conduct a survey on the BSE site. I want to ask that what are good Buddhist portals or other social sites of Buddhist meditation where I can conduct a survey on meditation.</p>

Also the [Buddhism Chat Telegram group](https://telegram.me/buddhismchat). You can also ask on our very own [Buddhism.SE chat room](https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/15162/buddhism) although not many people visit it.

# What are good Buddhist portals to conduct a survey on meditation?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-11-17)

I am working on wearable tech for meditation. I need to conduct a market research survey for the same. I understand that I cannot conduct a survey on the BSE site. I want to ask that what are good Buddhist portals or other social sites of Buddhist meditation where I can conduct a survey on meditation.
