Virtual Japanese Smiles of Joy

Found via Treehugger, Knom is a virtual Buddhist Temple that is encouraging wider understanding of Buddhism and Japanese culture.  Although some of the articles seem rather disconnected, my morning was brightened by this motivation: “We hope to transform these Buddhist thoughts into a lamplight and deliver this message to the world. Hope to fill the world with smiles of joy.”  People banded together by a noble goal…it’s a beautiful thing.
