Seeking editors for Theravādin Facebook Page

Post by dylanj »

https://www.facebook.com/noblebuddhadhamma/

Hello, I created the page & run it with a good friend of mine. It is going very well, I think, but I can see how a lot more people could be reached if the frequency of posts were increased & as is the two admins are having some trouble keeping things going.

A bit about it:
It is strictly Orthodox/Theravādin/Early Buddhist. The vast majority of content is direct excerpts from the suttas (currently I am trying to read the main 4 Nikāyas & so am posting from them as I go along) - otherwise the posts tend to be either quotes from Theravādin teachers or written by us admins ourselves, for example my co-admin has been doing a series of responses to Christian critics of Buddhism. But we prefer these latter two types of posts to be fewer in number than the former.

Anyone who can make quality posts aligned with the topic of the page & with images, proper citations, & fluent English (facebook also has a feature where you can make variants of posts in other languages to show to such audiences - if someone could do that it'd be astounding but it seems unlikely) is welcome to become an editor, but the two current admins would be especially comfortable with someone who is themselves strictly & faithfully Orthodox Buddhist - i.e. viewing the Nikāyas & Vinaya as authoritative - whether you accept the Abhidhamma is not of concern.

If you're interested send me a PM either here or:

Also anyone at all is free to send a friend request :)
Born, become, arisen – made, prepared, short-lived
Bonded by decay and death – a nest for sickness, perishable
Produced by seeking nutriment – not fit to take delight in


Departure from this is peaceful – beyond reasoning and enduring
Unborn, unarisen – free from sorrow and stain
Ceasing of all factors of suffering – stilling of all preparations is bliss

I just wanted to wish you a ton of luck in this :)

The more resources for those looking to learn and be rightly guided the better. Good on you for putting time into such a practice.
