The purpose of this web site is to contribute to the development
of Buddhism in the context of Western culture through the publication
of new writings which will take a fresh look at Buddhist and western
ideas, history and aspirations.
It will be informed by an understanding of the Middle Way, holding
a course between unquestioning acceptance on the one side and iconoclastic
reinterpretation on the other.
Dharmadana means Gift of Dharma and in accordance with this the
contents of the site are offered as a free gift. But if anyone wishes
to use any of the material, it would be appreciated if its provenance
were acknowledged.
