Keeping the Dharma Alive

Sabio's picture

Wow, that is discouraging.
But who cares if "Buddhism" survives as long as the "Dharma" survives.
There have been predictions of the demise of Buddhism before but with each new transformation and mutation something persists. So I hope efforts like yours keep the dharma surviving.

I would think that if you take this work or your Vampire work and transform them into an E-book for downloading on portable devices, you could spread stuff even further.

I would suggest you set up a paypal donation button on this site and experiment on how much people are willing to voluntarily support your writing.

Good stuff

Donation button and ebooks

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions.

I've added links to support the Aro charities; good idea but I don't need the money myself.

Making The Vetali's Gift (the vampire novel) into an e-book is definitely possible—when it's finished. For now, it's a web serial. I've also thought I could make it an at-cost Lulu book for those who like killing trees.
