Welcome to Realface.com, the social network for the spiritually curious -- a "Facebook for seekers," you might say. The name is taken from the Zen koan, "What was your face before your parents were born? What is your real face?" And so the site is aimed at those of us who are engaged to one degree or another in the search to discover the true nature of self and reality. Questions like, "Who am I really?" and "What's really going on here?" have become increasingly more insistent in our lives.
The search for a final answer leads down many roads as we turn over every rock looking for clues, and all the while our daily lives challenge us to maintain balance, authenticity, sincerity -- "right living," as Buddha would say. It's a daunting task, one that requires guidance, help, teachers, friends. Hopefully, this site will be a useful resource in that regard.
We're new, having just launched in March 2010, so it's a great time to join and help shape this site into what you'd like it to be for you. Welcome!
