The Long Now Foundation

To take on the project of properly translating Buddhism to the West is to sign up for something that can’t be finished in a lifetime. The materialistic (yolo) philosophy and the frantic pace of “late capitalism” make such a timeline literally unimaginable to many. Naturally, you’ll grasp for desperate measures if you feel time is “running out.”

Inspired by Bhante’s quote above, I just wanted to share this foundation:

The Long Now Foundation

Just wondering if SC translators or others can see an opportunity to get involved? Maybe around the Rosetta Project or maybe the Manual for Civilisation? maybe there are other projects out there with similar goals?

I discovered The Long Now some years ago via this project:

I discovered them a number of years ago thanks to my infatuation with Brian Eno
