Mindah-Lee Kumar (The Enthusiastic Buddhist) u

Mindah-Lee Kumar (The Enthusiastic Buddhist) Peace Mindah Lee. I just found out about your website and The Pilgrimage you organized. Since I miss the 2018 Pilgrimage it would be nice to see some footage of it please? It would increase my will to go to the next Pilgrimage you'll organize. Thanks and keep up the good work.

well i just got back from the Pilgrimage and will be posting the documentation soon

Hi Mindah, You have created great contents about Buddhism. If you have a Patreon page then people can support you to make more youtube videos, or you can share the contents through the patreon page too. I just wanted to make you aware about it. However, I made this video about Black Holes & Galaxies In Buddhism With Shape Of The Earth & Size Of Atoms: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qN6ohMmE1r6okn0.html If you have time, you can check it out. Maybe few months later I'll join with your membership site too. I'll watch all your KZfaq videos first and then I really hope to learn more about Buddhism from you. Thank you so much, Kind Regards, Suresh

Very true. Also, seems to violate right livelihood, as it is basically taking advantage of vulnerable and misguided people (and if the site owner cannot see that, they have no business 'attempting' to guide others until they know the 'way' themselves.)

Thanks! A lot of love has gone into creating this site. I'm so happy to finally be able to share it with everyone.

I think it makes a big difference if you can find a teacher who can help guide you in the theory and practices in the beginning (to help you gain clarity and clear away confusion). But having access to only one temple nearby can certainly limit your ability to find a teacher. I know I struggled to find a teacher in my hometown. Sometimes temples don't have English-speaking teachers or translators, and you might not feel connected with the particular Buddhist tradition being practiced there. So in essence, everyone needs a guide in the beginning, and if you cannot find someone nearby, then the online world is the next best place to look. :)

Double Awesome Which country you're from?

Double Awesome Cool, I'd recommend you Theravada Buddhism

The temple in my area is Thai, and I went there one time and they speak some English but I don't think they speak a lot of English.

Hi Karla, my site is inclusive of all traditions: Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. Our Facebook group has people across the whole spectrum in it. So in short, you can definitely join. :)

Theravada

Billy Breaker nice

What kind of help do you want I think I can help you.

I want Mahayana Buddhism practice can you tell me

Thanks for asking. Although it takes me weeks to create videos (the research, filming and editing), I’m not looking to be compensated for these efforts, as it brings me so much joy to create these. What a small membership fee will allow is for me to pay for all the expenses that arises from having a website, such as web developer fees, assistants, security and storage costs (to name just a few). Everything in the online space has costs and unfortunately I can’t compensate others with my enthusiasm! LOL The site itself has arisen out of others expressing a need for the teachings to be presented in a more structured way, making it easier to find relevant material, hence why I have created the “Series” within my site. I wanted to create a place that captured the enthusiasm I have for the Buddha’s teachings and inspired and motivated people to practice. When I set about creating the site, I wasn’t aware of other platforms where I could present my video teachings in a way that they are presented on my site. So I didn’t have other alternatives. To say the Buddha taught for free - I wish I had wealthy kings and patrons providing me with a roof over my head, medicine and clothing! Honestly, I’m not in this to be rich. LOL I just want to provide a service I know will benefit people and not have the stress of how I can possibly pay all my suppliers. I hope this helps to clarify my feeling and hopes about this site.

This is a very legitimate question to ask to anyone trying to capitalize on Buddhism. However, if I may, I'd like to give my input on this. It is not easy to make a video, there is research involved, equipment cost, it's time consuming, there's an editing process, etc. While it's true that she could have just opened an online bank account to accept donations the same way monks/nuns accept donations and alms, what Mindah is charging is peanuts considering the amount of work that has obviously been put into this project. Have you taken a look at the members' site? There is a lot of important information there and a lot of great resources and she's also moderating an online community on facebook. Anyway, I see the membership fee more as a donation for the fantastic work that she's doing spreading the Dhamma.

Mindah-Lee Kumar (The Enthusiastic Buddhist) I don’t know the conversion rate but $11.00 Australian can’t be that much. I have Christian family who give as much to their church every Sunday.
