THE NOTHING TIMES began in 1994 and was produced for three years. It arose out of family events held at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery and was seen as a way for those involved in these events – particularly the children, who often lived quite far apart – to maintain a monthly contact. Children’s contributions provided the main content with each cover looking at a traditional Buddhist theme – by way of an ‘editorial.’ The cover theme was also developed during a regular Sunday School held at Amaravati.
These covers have been collected together and compiled in various formats.
