I’m delighted to share the news about Prapañca, an online Buddhist journal edited by friend of the blog, Scott Mitchell from Buddha is My DJ. The purpose of this quarterly publication — whose name refers to the way we make sense of the world through the “play of words” — is to represent an inclusive and diverse range of contemporary Buddhist voices through original feature articles, reviews and opinion, and creative work (poems, fiction, and art).
What’s especially intriguing to me is that the journal is interested in capturing unconventional perspectives on Buddhist traditions and philosophy. The submissions guidelines indicate that the editors want to hear not only from experienced, self-identified Buddhists, but from fledgling practitioners like myself who are curious about the connections between the Middle Way and our everyday lives.
The June 2010 inaugural issue will focus on the issue of “Imperfection.” So if you have an idea for a submission, or know of someone who might be interested in the journal, please help spread the word!
