Want to help promote Fundamental Buddhism?

You can do so via a number of ways outlined below.

The Buddhist Instruction Ministry
is dedicated to promoting and teaching fundamental Buddhism based on interpretations of the Pali Canon which is recognized by Buddhist scholars as the oldest surviving written record of what the Buddha actually said and taught.

Our group's qualifications to teach are our very extensive 20 years of study of Buddhism, including both the 12,800 plus pages of Pali Text Society English translations of the Buddha's discourses, recognized by Buddhist scholars as the oldest surviving written record of what the Buddha actually said and taught, plus over a thousand additional books and essays on Buddhism, some almost as old as the Pali Canon. All told, an estimated 60,000,000 words.

We started the Buddhist Instruction Retreat and its Buddhist Instruction Ministry in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, in 1991. For eight years, we were the only Buddhist organization listed under "Churches" in the main telephone yellow page directory for Atlanta. All our teaching is now done at this time through this website ministry where we provide our summary of Fundamental Buddhism Explained, extracting most of its content from the Pali Canon translations, plus where we provide more definition to that summary via our Buddhist Instruction FAQs page. We no longer offer retreats. Our Atlanta local ministry was terminated in Nov 2001 due to little local interest and support -- most people now use the Internet to obtain information on Buddhism.

Fundamental Buddhism?

If after reading and considering our interpretation of what Buddhism is really all about in the Fundamental Buddhism Explained Summary plus all the questions and answers on our Buddhist Instruction FAQs page, you feel you would like to help support our Buddhist Instruction Ministry efforts via promoting Fundamental Buddhism as defined by this website, there are a number of ways you can help.

ONE

You can promote this website by providing a link to it from your website plus you can recommend it to others in whatever manner you can wherever you can.

TWO

If you have fluent writing skills in English plus another language, you could volunteer your free time to write a translation of the Text Summary Page. See the page of other language translations of the Fundamental Buddhism Explained Text Summary for more details. To date, SIX people have generously volunteered their free time, skills and money to write and create a language translation of the text summary (for which we again thank them). Language translation services want around $750 to $1000 to do just one language translation of the text summary. If you would like to volunteer to do a translation, again see that page for instructions.

THREE

You can pay someone to do them and then send us the MS word or html file.
