The aim of this site is to popularise Buddhist principles and
philosophy through the use of humor and cartoons. Some
cartoons may appear to be pure entertainment, while others
may be more profound to stimulate deeper contemplation.
Just go to MANGA MANGA for your regular dose of cartoons
which now go up three times per week. ( The change was
made from daily to three times per week to enable us to
source finance/income so as to be able to continue the site).
At Manga Manga on Mondays you'll find a single or multi-
frame Sutramanga cartoon. On Thursdays you will find the
winner of the previous week's Lama Lotus caption contest,
( on Buddhist stuff ). On Saturdays you will find a Sutra
Shock cartoon, ( on activist stuff ), usually with links to
information or other sites on the chosen subject. This is to
encourage us to cultivate awareness and mindfulness on
the issue, and to act with wisdom and compassion.

Buddhism as a living practicable philosophy provides
valuable techniques that people from all religious
backgrounds can employ. Adoption and application of
both its principles, and its profound insights into the
interdependence of phenomena, provide a system for
facilitating both inner transformation and outer socio-
economic and environmental change. At a time when the
world is in a state of imbalance, with increasing levels of
violence, poverty, suffering and environmental devastation,
a radical paradigm shift is required. Buddhism has a very
important role to play in this, and in the field of activism
generally. For more information on this, and on activist
groups employing Buddhist principles please go to the
activism and Dharma section. In this section you will also
find a concise introduction to Buddhism and meditation
techniques.

In the hope that a bit of fun and more interaction may lead
to some more profound changes, everyone is invited to
participate in the discussion boards and cartoon caption
competition sections.

Welcome aboard, and may the Triple Gem always be
with you!
