It is a public access site; that is, there are no fees to use the online services nor is there any membership require- ment. BODY DHARMA ONLINE is operated as a not-for-profit public educational service. BODY DHARMA is the home and central hub of DharmaNet International, an online Buddhist community and network. For more information about DharmaNet, please download the file DHARMA.ZIP. From BODY DHARMA, Buddhist resources are disseminated outwards to over eighty affilate BBSs throughout the world, as well as to the Internet. BODY DHARMA maintains the Internet DharmaNet site (DEFA) at sunsite.unc.edu, is the central repository for Buddhist compiled resources and electronic books, and is the editorial offices of the bi-monthly Buddhist journal //Gassho//. BODY DHARMA is primarily involved in teleconferencing; that is, exchanging information and personal communications via numerous topical conferences from many networks. BODY DHARMA is the home of BODYWORK, an international conference dealing with bodywork and massage therapy, as well as several other health-related echos. Additionally, there are over 200 conferences online, oriented towards promoting the health and empowerment of the body, mind, spirit, and planet. Each conference has its own rules and codes of etiquette; please observe them. In order to provide maximum access for everyone, I strongly encourage the use of an "offline reader" -- this is a tool which allows you to select the conferences that interest you and to read and reply to the messages offline at your convenience. BODY DHARMA supports the Blue Wave offline reader, which is available for download as BWAVE212.ZIP. BODY DHARMA has an extensive text file library available for download (or File Request) -- these are mostly texts relating to Buddhism, spirituality and health. The daily-updated list is F1250033.ZIP. There are no file ratios here -- what is online is here in order to be used; please feel free to download whatever is of interest to you. While I appreciate uploads, available disk space is limited so I must be fairly selective in what I can leave online. BODY DHARMA is also a mail hub for several networks -- Fidonet, DharmaNet, ADAnet, PODS, Skynet, Martial Arts Network, TransGenderNet, and others. Please feel free to contact me about joining any of these networks or arranging mail feeds. People helping people is what makes it possible! BODY DHARMA is a SecureMail hub, providing routed netmail services amongst thousands of Fidonet sites. SecureMail is an alternative netmail routing system that promotes privacy and efficiency, including the use of public key encryption. If you are interested in netmail access, leave me a message requesting it. BODY DHARMA is operated through the donated time and resources of the sysop, Barry Kapke. All services are provided freely and openly to the public at large as a community service. Donations are happily accepted to help offset costs. If so inclined, please feel free to send contributions to Barry Kapke, BODY DHARMA ONLINE, PO Box 4951, Berkeley, CA 94704-4951. Users have full access to all services whether or not they make contributions. I hope BODY DHARMA is a valuable resource for you and your community. Enjoy! And if I can answer any questions or help in any way, please don't hesitate to ask. ********** BODY DHARMA operates 24 hrs Daily. 1200/2400/9600/14400 HST/V32b/V42b We support Continuous Mail and allow File Requests except during ZMH.
