Thankyou
The Buddhist Council of Victoria (BCV) is honoured to present Discovering Buddha. The original publication was produced with the assistance, hard work, advice, recommendations, and dedication of numerous people including Judith Macdonald, Sue Smith and Serena Seah with the help of a very generous donation from the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC).
The manual is beautifully designed to bring the Dhamma/Dharma to a modern audience and would not have been possible without the hard work and commitment of the small team of past and present bRI Instructors: they are the heartwood of the program and this book is a special gift to them. In addition we are grateful to the schools which have welcomed the bRI program, and the class teachers for their willingness to be open to this possibility.
