Buddha Badges

BuddhaBadges is a little not-for-profit charity drive project aimed at selling 1"inch punk badges to help raise donation money for some good causes. Chock full of Buddhist imagery and meaning, the purchasing of these little guys not only help you practice theParamita of Generosity and the Brahma Vihara of Compassion, but they also make you look cool. Better yet, if someone says "What's that?" you can also spread a little Dharmic know-how to your friends and fellow human beings!

Jerome's Niece

Jerome's Niece was founded by way of two friends getting together over Sutra in apartment evenings and sharing their passion for Buddhist poetics and literary device. With the same enthusiasm born in mind, and consumption being measured in bandwidth, a collective of poets, scholars, and Pure Land kids was formed that would help contribute to the understanding and appreciation of Buddhist writings and thought, both modern and classic. With the ultimate goal of providing Sutras in their entirety, given of the spirit which they were freely created in.

“If I had rubies and riches and crowns
I’d buy the whole world and change things around
I’d throw all the guns and the tanks in the sea”
