Printing of Books/Brochure for Buddhism
-
I was thinking about this for a long time
we could help many in alleviation of suffering by printing
chinese and english Buddhist work to be distributed Nationwide to let other understand Buddhism
This will be a joint effort in a quarterly basis
Wisdom Bliss and Compassionate Affinity join hand in hand
and with this meritorious act ,may watever obstacles in love life , career and
health be reduced or removed
Justdoit77 and Coolbluewater any input ?
AEN ...what do u think of this idea ?
The book/brochure will bear the url to wisdom bliss
and will be in small distribution abt 3000 copies
and copyright free material of Pureland ,Mahayana and several Theravada scriptures
-
Good idea..
The book/brochure will bear the url to wisdom bliss
haha
sure? -
good idea
although it sound very commercial to the reader... but is worth to try.
The texts need to be short and brief so the reader can understand the meaning at one glance. -
When is the projected 1st issue?
-
Good Idea!
-
LOL. What a waste of time since most people can't understand the most basic tenets of Buddhism and its viewpoint.

Didn't u see the third line in the first post? Or u too trigger happy to send this msg of yours?Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:LOL. What a waste of time since most people can't understand the most basic tenets of Buddhism and its viewpoint.
Anyway, copyright material aside... jus wondering if it need any clearence from the 'big boys'? -
Not trigger happy, just pure nutty from understanding Buddhism. If you are using materials cleared by the ISD and MDA, no requirement to re-request permission. Just inform them that you will be printing a phamplet from the original materials.Originally posted by BÃ¥seline:Didn't u see the third line in the first post?

Personally I think this idea is a good one. As to the content, I think that some original than cut and paste items from other publications. We could ask people of different buddhist traditions or organisations, like Pureland, Ch'an to write articles of their master's teaching. Just a suggestion

Merry Meet bohiruci,
Well its a good idea & intention however there are many details to put into consideration mainly will be funding. Depending on what kind of books/brochures we are looking at, it can cost from few thousands of dollars or more. So who is going to fund the cost of such publication? Sourcing for a printer with publishing rights, layout & template of writings all that, its not a simple task. Its not just a matter of "Want" or "Don't Want". Many details need to be sort out before these can manifest into reality. Anyway this is just for sharing. Thanks.
Blessed Be,

I have a friend whos family runs a printing company and is also a buddhist . If you all wants perhaps i can recomend you to her . As for funding we can ask for quotation then maybe we can all ask for donation here as to whatever amount that we/they feel confortable with . Don't have to worry too much , where theres a will , theres a way , you just have to ask ard .
