I think he is still at the stage of gathering ideas..Originally posted by mistyblue:can you list the table of contents? -
BTW I would like to clarify regarding the book printing project... it is the sole effort of Bohiruci and I am not involved in this project.. so don't find me on this matter.
And to Bohiruci... pls avoid using forum name when publicising the book.. thanks -
First, printing any text without considering the audience will cause pollution and environmental damage.
Second, smarter way to do it is only to print 1 copy and laminate it so you can easily bring it around for interested parties to read.
Thirdly, any excess copies should be mashed into compost and fed to earthworms so that the cellulose will not be wasted.
Just a reminder from An Eternal Now: As a moderator I have the right to edit any posts that are obviously insults. All other moderators are going to help me to keep this forum a clean place for serious and constructive discussions. -

AEN, quit sticking your editing where it doesn't belong.

Actually if it is something beneficial to the public, I will want to join, but first of all we need to find out
1) How to get to the public this information, is it legal and what is the procedure required.
2) What content we need to put in. we need to make sure that the information is correct and the potential reader will be interested to read further at first glance.
If we want to put any reference on it, have we sought consent from the owner. -
Are you sure ????????????Originally posted by An Eternal Now:The proper way of disposing a Buddhist material is to burn it. -
Yes. It is the appropriate and respectful method to dispose Buddhist materials. Just like Buddha cremated himself in his fire of samadhi resulting in many of the shariras and relics.Originally posted by knightlll:Are you sure ????????????
Throwing it into the rubbish chute is a disrespectful way. -
i feel that one has to think carefully about the intention of propagating the dharma to the extensive public by any means. if the intention is to flourish buddhism, then isn't it the same as seeking fame? here i'm not directing at the person with the idea or the sangha assisting with the publishing contents. i can't say that there ought to have or ought not have reasons or intentions behind because spreading dharma is also for the benefit of one and others.
as expounded in the diamond sutra, giving is without relying on forms. if we share the dharma with others, we are not attached to the form of dharma being spread nor attached to conditions of wanting something back. without these hindrances, actions would just be pure and authentic. besides, one has to look around understand more on the general public so that through expedient means according to different capacities may the teachings be beneficial and fruitful for all. just 2cents worth... -

Personally , i think Buddhist materials are too holy to be burnt. I would let the temple staff handle them or keep them , in case some day i need to read them etc.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Yes.

No, burning is actually an appropriate and respectful way of disposal. Even monastery (actually 'temples' are more for taoists, in buddhism our buildings are 'monasteries' or 'dharma centers') burn them. Of cos if the book is still ok then you can pass it on to someone else, but what I'm talking about is when there is a need of disposal.Originally posted by knightlll:Personally , i think Buddhist materials are too holy to be burnt.

Free distribution book have no legal procedure , if required , will you be willing to pay a legal fee for consultation , per consultation cost 2 grandsOriginally posted by justdoit77:Actually if it is something beneficial to the public, I will want to join, but first of all we need to find out

Since we are printing free distribution material , karma is owner of this printing , not Legal parties .
I would strongly suggest you go and take a look at free distribution books in Buddhist lodge
If we need legalised the copies ,we need to apply for ISBN number and this takes months to register and must be registered with fees paid to the US national library of Congress for registered publication .
by then 4 times the amount is needed to print a mere 2000 copies of it spend on legal issue and ISBN registration
I am selecting sutra and from dhammapada .
May I ask ,have you heard that Dhammapada have a copyright issue ?
who is the owner ? sakyamuni Buddha rite ?
All this is addressed in the past , so please dont worry
Kindly noted that whatever obstruction ,the printing will still
proceed as planned -
Then what if my buddhist material is in electronic form, is it ok copy to drag it to the recycle bin in my windows?
If it is physical buddhism book, I think no need to burn it, coz the teaching will never become obsolete, you can pass to the monastries, they will make good use of it, though they may have to spend some time to verify the content before deciding whether to distribute to the public or dispose/burn it. -
What I am saying is the way you distribute this to the public.
Do you want to go MRT or shopping centre to distribute?Originally posted by bohiruci:Free distribution book have no legal procedure , if required , will you be willing to pay a legal fee for consultation , per consultation cost 2 grands

I think you really need to get passed all these labelling of temple belonging to taoist and monastery for buddhist.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:No, burning is actually an appropriate and respectful way of disposal.

Dao4 Guan4 can be translated as a Taoist Monastery. Nothing much wrong with it.
In fact the word "temple" originated from the Old Testament, why don't you say temple should refer to churches?
I have the impression, I may be wrong, that you feel that temple is a much low-class term and therefore you are trying to shove it away from Buddhism.
