It’s official – Digital Buddha Vacana is now available on Facebook.
So facebook users can have a Dharma verse while they “throw a sheep” at their friend or “poke” at them! 
Now that I’ve migrated the news column in the main site with the news board in the forum, I was wondering if this blog could benefit from integration. Granted, the entries I write over here are largely unrelated to Digital Buddha Vacana so maybe it may still be a good thing to keep it separate.
Thoughts?
