zanwat. just a weblog.: buddha project

January 27, 2003

Almost a year ago I had this idea to use my weblog only for Dharma purposes. It lasted about three weeks. To be honest, not much goes on in the Buddhist world. Every now and then you find something in the news to talk about, China does something really silly worth talking about or a teaching is upcoming somewhere and you can mention that. In my life, on a day to day basis, I was not finding it all that interesting. Although I felt that a resource like this would be a wonderful asset to the community. Fortunately, I found a site yesterday that is just what I was thinking of. It’s called the Buddha Project.

You will note that all of the “current favorites” over there on the menu have now been updated to reflect a good many site found on the Buddha Project website. Buddhist weblogs... is their anything better?

Hi,
Keep thinking peaceful thoughts and sharing them with the world! I thought you would be interested in a project that I am working on. This is my year of “100 Buddhas”. After a few traumatic experiences recently, I decided that painting 100 Buddhas this year would help me to focus on the Dharma, and spread peace to others. At the end of the project, there will be a showing/sale of the paintings, and a small booklet explaining the art (along with Buddhist texts) will be available. If you wish to check on the progress of the project, please visit my website (I should have the Buddha page up by July 6th - the project just started in June, and I wanted to get a few of the paintings completed before uploading the page). Peace and joy to you! D.
