Invitation to help host this group. [View all]

I would like to invite you to help moderate the group. I am hoping to get as many time zones covered as possible. I am in Seattle and work during the day so I will be here mostly early mornings and evenings. We will need some day time coverage and hopefully some coverage for the rest of the planet.

I hope the group can be a positive, safe place to discuss all things Buddhist, where all traditions and paths are respected. I feel strongly that we don't want to turn this into a discussion of the merits of one tradition over another. I see it as a non-sectarian group where we can safely discuss our paths, meditation techniques, the Buddha's teachings, and perhaps involve some people in Engaged Buddhism. Suggestions and comments about the purpose of the group are not only welcome, but much appreciated.

We have had one applicant that is a Christian, but is Buddhist friendly that has asked to be a co-host. What are thoughts on that? Do we only want Buddhist hosts, or should we open it up to supportive non-Buddhists? What should the requirements be for a co-host?

I look forward to meeting you, and hope that you will consider serving. Just send me an IM if you are interested.

A lotus for you, Buddha to be,
