Jogye Order enters the Information Age

The Jogye-jong, Korea’s largest Buddhist order, has launched an English-language website on Korean Buddhism. It’s an amazing piece of work and I expect it to grow better in the weeks, months and years ahead. It even has its own blog system, an example of which you can see here.

Robert, thank you for this link. The site is very well done. How long have you been a Buddhist? Were you a follower of Korean Buddhism before you came to Korea?

Glad you liked the link. No I wasn’t a follower of Korean Buddhism before I came to Korea. That’s something I learned after coming to Korea. And at any rate, I’m a bad Buddhist. My wife is also Buddhist, I should point out, although being Mongolian, she naturally follows Tibetan traditions rather than Korean Zen.
