Frequently asked questions

Dharma is a Sanscrit term that refers to the teachings of the Buddha. It can also mean "the path" or "the way" that we can follow to end the unease (suffering) that we all experience in life.

The messages printed in Dharmazines come from Buddhist texts, mantras, teachers, and my own musings/poetry related to Buddhist philosophy. As I stamp the words, letter by letter, it's an opportunity to think about the teaching and what it means. The integration of words and images, as well as the types of images used in Dharmazines reflect two key components of Buddhist thought: Interdependence and Impermanence. Learn more about this in the Story of Dharmazines.

As a fledgling non-profit, we ask your support to help cover basic expenses like the website and printing. For this we are charging $5.00 each or 3 for $10.00. This is a voluntary donation that you can pay Robin via Venmo. The most important thing is to share the art and get folks to participate in acts of kindness. If you are gifting a Dharmazine, please tell the recipient to visit our website so they can learn about our mission and log their act of kindness.
