Bringing Buddha
Dharma Home
by Kooi
Fong Lim, The Buddhist Channel, June 27, 2006
The latest upgrade exercise
promises to provide more in-depth investigation of issues and
greater outreach through regionalized news coverage
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia -- Catch this day and mark
it on your calendar: August 1, 2006, the day when we will launch
the Buddhist Channel's (BC) most ambitious outreach program since
its rebranding exercise in October 2004.
Code name "Bringing Dharma Home", the new look BC
will bring you events and news the way a full fledge media
enterprise would, through indepth investigative reporting and wider
distribution network via regional news coverage.
But we will be doing it in our own, unique Buddhist way, that is
through "Right Speech" (rather than Free Speech) and in the spirit
of "Free Inquiry (as espoused in the Kalama Sutta, the Charter of
Free Inquiry)". More on that later.
Come August 1, 2006 here's what you'll enjoy:
ASIA - Coverage by
Countries
As the birth place of Buddhism, we will have in-depth coverage of
the latest Buddhist development in the region by country. This is
made possible through support given by representatives from their
respective countries. Here's how Buddhist news in Asia will be
segmented.

NORTH AMERICA - Coverage by
Regions
North America remains the world's fastest growth area for Buddhism.
On another note, the region also provides the channel with the
highest traffic. Given its recent rise and prominence in Buddhist
development, the BC will cover the region according to the
following segments:
