Seeking one, two or three keen secular dharma practitioners
Could you see yourself serving the dharma as a person who publishes secular Buddhist books, and helps to create educational resources for secular dharma practitioners?
The Tuwhiri Project was born four years ago in the Antipodes and enjoys a global reach. It’s run by an editorial board of four, and three of us are now at a stage of life when we need to do less, and want to hand the reins over to others.
We welcome expressions of interest from individuals, small groups of likeminded individuals, or existing secular Buddhist organisations. Global location irrelevant.
