This site will try and incorporate ideas, trends, practices, and people engaged in new forms of Buddhism in contemporary cultures and societies worldwide.
It will serve as an exploratory forum for making sense of the diverse approaches to "Buddhism," which can range from forest-dwelling monks in Thailand to activists promoting same-sex marriage in Oregon.
(Actually, there is no single entity or organization called "Buddhism," so perhaps it's more accurate to add an "s" to word, although it sounds a bit awkward.)
At any rate, this site is hereby officially launched at 2:15 Sunday afternoon, October 18, 2009, with the sound of a temple bell to commemorate the occasion.
