I am delighted to have this opportunity to write about my experience as a dharma educator for children, school founder, and curriculum developer for Buddhistdoor Global (BDG). This first article addresses the issue of dharma as religion versus dharma as the way things are and how that can impact the curriculum. Founded in 1995, BDG is an online Buddhist journal providing a range of English-language Buddhist content to the world, centered on the Dharma and dedicated to serving Buddhist communities and helping practitioners. BDG is non-sectarian and strives to promote an egalitarian vision of the Buddhadharma that embraces all Buddhist traditions. All of their content is freely available to all. I am honored to be part of their work. You can read this piece HERE.
