I am grateful to be connected with you here on LinkedIn, Vello. What an amazing resource on Buddhism! Congratulations! I have liked you on fb as well! Spirituality is the thread that joins the world together once we remember that this is so.
It is a daily part of my life as I live in a small Sangha in Europe that lives following the guidance of Tony Samara.
We are fortunate to have daily satsangs each morning Monday to Friday and again on Sunday evenings. We spend our day focused on a karma yoga schedule that allows for us to put aside the mind and to the best of our abilities immerse ourselves totally in the selfless services that we are to perform.
I am also a mother of 4 children who are predominantly home-schooled...so my main area of karma yoga (with the help of some of the others here) is to assist them with their educations.
The children are 5,9,13,and 18 and have such various interests that I spend a lot of time seeking to find activities that will allow them to blossom into vital and valuable spiritual human beings. I was born in New Zealand, grew up in Australia and moved to Europe about 18 years ago.
The satsangs that I mention above are an invaluable possibility and perhaps you would also find the teachings of Tony Samara very interesting.
I will include a link here to the CMF page newly created here on LinkedIn in case you would care to follow. http://www.linkedin.com/company/tony-samara-humanitarian-alliance?trk-prof-following-company-logo
It is really heart-warming to know you ...
I am thankful. Wishing you a beautiful day Rahma Kushtana Editor, Tony Samara Books http://www.tonysamarabooks.com/ "The Divine has created this moment in time. It is a very powerful moment, where there is only one way and that way is that you completely let go. Completely let go of what is known, what is safe, and move into the space of beauty.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v-bsU7d6tkngk

Hello Vello, I am familiar with the site. I like it very much. It's a great reference for those of us who want to learn more. Many times when I've found something in a text I didn't understand, I checked your site for a reference. Thank you.

Best wishes with your project. It is a long tedious work, but it will be helpful for thousands of people, year after year.

Vello, I will propose to my friends in Hong Kong and Sichuan to use your Encyclopedia. But this proposition needs time. We should be connected with Buddhist schools in China for the subject "Buddhism and Science". Best Thom

Greetings, Vello, I am delighted you took the time to write to me and to forward the link to the Encyclopedia's web site. I also visited and "liked" the Facebook page during the weekend. Both sites have a wealth of information, and I look forward to learning more thanks to your efforts. I think both sites are treasures, and I am happy to know about the work to preserve and inform is being done. Please keep in touch. With warm regards, Elizabeth

Hello Vello, this is a nice page (even if it looks a bit like wikipedia). I like the Buddhist Encyclopedia and I will put a post on the internet on asianartblog.com, of which I´m the editor. Do you really want to invest in your own servers? I mean, they might be outdated in a few years. You can do a lot with professional hosting services. All the best and sincerely yours, Till Spurny

| Message: It is a fantastic endevour that a group of people have finally come together to create the Wikipedia of Buddhism. What most people do not realize about the destruction of Tibet was not that it was the destruction of a culture but that the thousands of monasteries that were destroyed housed vast repositories of Buddhist scriptures and translations from all around Asia. As some cultures might have become conquered and no longer been Buddhist, thier writings were not lost but held in Tibet (Read the 14 Dalai Lamas by Greg Mullin). Hopefully now this Buddhist encyclopedia in the same way will become the vast online repository for all Buddhist teaching whether it be Mahayana, Shravakayana or Vajrayana. |

As a professional specialist in Buddhist and Tibetan studies I would like to say that only Vello Vaartnou (whom I know personally last 30 years), is the only person who could come up with such unique idea. He is the only one able to manage such gigantic project, which needs knowledge both in Buddhism and IT. |

The vision you entertain as the leader of this research project will no doubt take quite a few years to materialize but once there is hope in the objectives of this group I am sure you will attain success. Buddha persisted in his dream to become a self realized master, he fled the royal palace in search of the fulfillment of his mission in life and enlightenment came as he sat under the Bodhagaya tree in Bihar, India. His thoughts and teachings did not remain in India, but rather spread throughout Asia both major and minor.Such was the power of the GURU. |

It provides valuable information regarding the background of Buddhism, and the different types (and origins) of Buddhas, which has added value beyond what I already knew and experienced about Nyingma and Tibetan Buddhism. I see many cross relationships with western concepts, and other religions. The information I found in the Encyclopedia, thus far, confirms the unity of all world religions and world teachers, and it broadens my horizon. |
