buddha-l -- Buddhist discussion forum
About buddha-l	German English (USA) Spanish (Spain) French Italian Dutch Norwegian Swedish
Buddha-l functions as an open forum for informed discussion of topics relating to the history, literature and languages, fine arts, philosophy, practices and institutions of all forms of Buddhism. The primary purpose of this list is to provide a forum for reflective discussion. It is open to all persons inside and outside the academic context who wish to engage in substantial discussion of topics relating to Buddhism and Buddhist studies. Buddha-l is not to be used for proselytizing for or against Buddhism in general, any particular form of Buddhism, or any other religion or philosophy, nor is it to be used as a forum for making unsubstantiable confessions of personal conviction. Lively debate is welcome, but we aim for a deep concern both for the matter being discussed and for those participating in the conversation. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the buddha-l Archives. (The current archive is only available to the list members.)
