For 2500 Years Buddhadhamma Has Been Passed from Teacher to Student
For two and a half thousand years the teachings of the Buddha have been passed on from
teacher to student, shared between friends, and passed on from generation to generation.
This has been done in community, out of enthusiasm, compassion, and generosity.
These teachings and their potential for profound transformation, both personal and
collective, are now starting to take root globally.
At this pivotal moment, we are confronted with a choice: a choice between allowing
these teachings to become another item in the spiritual marketplace or to keep with
the traditions that have passed these teachings to us and ensure that they are taught
with integrity, effectiveness, and in a spirit of open hearted, enthusiastic generosity.
At Open Sangha Foundation we are creating, nurturing and supporting a community of
practitioners of Buddhadhamma, students and teachers, who are committed to ensuring
these teachings flourish in the 21st Century without succumbing to the market paradigm
and the various hidden barriers built into that system.
