Having an administrator from a Theravadan country?

[Manopubbangama]

Just an idea as Theravada is not Mithraism - its a living tradition.

Maybe to have someone here from a Theravadan country??

That has heard Pali chanting from since inside their mothers womb?

Maybe this could help with....authenticity?

Totally of the hook suggestion here?


I mean there is nothing wrong with Icelandic people reading about sweat.lodges and going in them but when they start to tell people their interpretations of the sweat lodge are superior...... Just sayin...

What is a Theravadin country? There are countries that are majority Theravadin, but no country is 100% Theravadin. There are Christians, Muslims, Hindus in Thailand and Myanmar, for example.

We don't discriminate based on race or national origin, so no thanks.

Not at all, Bhikkhu Bodhi came from a Jewish family in Brooklyn and he is known as one of the best translators and teachers in modern times. And there are numerous others of non-Asian and Asian descent. Race doesn't matter; it's knowledge and wisdom that matters.

I assume you mean "off the hook"? If so, then yes.

Theravadan country means the culture is indigenous for at least....1000 years?

Glad to have your opinion. Forgive my phone typing.

Greetings ManoPG,

Per David's note, we do not discriminate based upon immutable characteristics when offering staff positions. (After all, "not by birth is one a brahman")

If you believe that doing so, however, would be a boon to Buddhism on the Internet, then I recommend creating a Dhamma Board to implement your ideas. Feel free to make reference to this Dhamma Board here at Dhamma Wheel in the Dhamma propagation section so we can allow interested people to find it, and so that we may rejoice in your merits.



Metta,
Paul.
