As part of my practice to bring awareness of the Buddhist path through a publication of a book/website, I will eventually be sharing these videos and images to sanghas as well. Through the years of research in finding sanghas/subjects throughout the US, it is clear that volunteers and marketing resources for sanghas is always a challenge. Although I appreciate the historical context that teachers don’t typically ‘market’ the dharma, it is also disheartening to see the variety of spiritual offerings be marketed in this day and age. Eventually, I have thought much about starting a non profit that would focus on serving authentic teachers/sanghas so that it is easier for seekers to find this path. Meanwhile, I’ve created a few video samples of themes that sanghas can use to embedded on their website to provide a more engaging message about the importance of the sangha, lineage and etc.
