    I think it’s wonderful people make the effort to make available the dharma to everyone, especially for free, when everything, in buddhism or otherwise costs money most of us really don’t have to spare. I have ordered many books from a similar source, so I am all for it, regardless of the exactness of the translation! Deep bows to their work!

      Hi Seiko,

      I am not so familiar with their translations, so cannot comment.

      Fo Guang Shan is a very rich center of humanistic Buddhism in Taiwan, combining many Chan, Pure Land and generally traditional elements of Chinese Buddhism. I know some folks from there.

      Gassho, Jundo
