Install Buddhist Compass Now How to Make Your Worship More Powerful If you know the direction of Bodh Gaya and align yourself with it when you pray, your devotion naturally becomes stronger. You don’t have to take my word for it—try and see for yourself. Muslims have known this principle for centuries through the practice of facing Mecca (qibla). Until recently, Buddhists did not have such a tool. Buddhist Compass makes it possible with just a simple app.

Introduction In this post, I introduce some of the key digital projects I’ve been working on to support the study, practice, and expansion of Orthodox Theravāda Buddhism. These tools are designed to make Pāḷi texts more accessible, enhance Buddhist study, and provide practical applications for practicing Buddhist teachings through technology. Read on to learn more about each project, and watch the video at the end of this post for a full overview. The video is a boring zoom presentation with screen shares, but it does the job.

AmericanMonk.org has a new free home! I started the process last week and if you are a subscriber who gets this email, the task is 90% complete. There is still some refinement to do. Why Move?

While NameCheap sounds like a small company, they are one of the top ten names in hosting and DNS services (where you get a registered website name). My sister who started a cooking website called, CookingWithAlisa.com was so kind to host me for a few years on her own account. However, I started getting notification messages that my website was getting shut down, sometimes a few times per day. My sister’s website was fine and it was just my own site that was affected. NameCheap’s Tech Support claimed I was using too many resources and they were shutting me down.

My website does get a lot of traffic. As I said before, I got nearly 60,000 real person web page views in 2023. That is quite a lot for a small website account, so I’m not sure what the real reason for going beyond my resource allocation was. Was it an attack or was my site too heavy or was my site getting too much natural traffic? I don’t know, but I needed to take action.
