Brand New EBS/BAUS/BALV Web Site

EBS: Electronic Buddhadharma Society
BAUS: Buddhist Association of the United States
BALV: Buddhist Association of the Lehigh Valley

After working for several months, with the help from David Chung and Rev. Jin-Yao / Wen-Ming Chang, EBS / BAUS / BALV web sites are now presented to you with a more eye-catching artistic design and well thought out file infrastructure.

It has grown out of the original idea of broadcasting EBS bi-monthly general report on Internet, and is evolving into a full blown organizational web site that, in the future, will provide more comprehensive organizational news, documentation, and interactive services.

It is the first of its kind (established in Oct 1995) in providing bi-lingual web pages, offering netsurfers the choices of English and Chinese version whichever they are comfortable with. It's just a click away. Some articles in Chinese were even converted to GIF format for netsurfers without Chinese environment to view it.

Also, it has three mirror sites (as of 11/11/97): PA-USA, CA-USA, and Taiwan. Just select the site that is geographically closest to you. Save you tremendous file transferring time. Thanks to the support of Rev. Jin-Yao and Wen-Ming Chang, Taiwan site now is in sync with USA sites. There will be no delay in the file update. Netsurfers in Taiwan can view most up-to-date files directly from Taiwan site instead of coming after US sites.
