Dhammaloka is a public platform; you are not anonymous.

As Buddhists we are advocates of honesty and openness.

You must register with your real name. It is visible to everyone.

Your posts and name may appear in Google search results.

There is no option to use pseudonyms.

Private communication is possible through messaging and off-the-air ‘Groups’.

You must be 18 or older to register and post to the forum,

What can I do?

As a community member you can:
- Participate in discussions with fellow Buddhists
- Ask our resident monastics questions
- Get free blogging and photo album facilities
- You can also post events
- Start or join special interest groups and forums (private)
Registration

Community membership is by paid subscription, effectively a small donation of $2 annually.

Please follow this link to register. Your application will be checked and approved.

If you are a monk, nun or anagarika you do not have to take out a subscription to participate. Contact us at webmaster@bswa.org with your details including the monastery you reside at, phone number and a contact person.
