Comments Thanks venerable kusalo for your e-mail and wonderful website it was a delight to 'clear mind' and freefall around your cyber space to find so many treasures and humour. I will return since I wasn't able to do the full tour and will pass the site onto others. Very easy to use. Thanks and hello

Hi! Thank you so much for a nice site! it was lovely to read and there was the basic idea given in buddhism. I'm a "starter" in buddhism, but very keen to learn more after my Sri Lanka trip, so thank you for this site once again. All my best to everyone. May Buddha lead your way!

I had always hoped the Monty Python of Dharma would arise form emptiness and I do believe we've got it. Thanks so much for the time and care and lightness of touch which has gone into every detail of this site.

Tracy - tracytilaka@excite.com
I'm absolutely impressed with your website. I've recommended your site to my friends in UNIBUDS (UNSW Buddhist Society) and we are hoping to take a cool approach to Buddhism thru the Web in future. Please keep up the great work!

cool site but a bit difficult to piece all these concepts together if one is not Buddhist. very philosophical and attractive site though. but good work...

Mandi - starrletprincess@aol.com

Hello!
I am not too sure what this site is all about but it is certainly different from all the other Buddhist sites I have encountered. It is very thought provoking and not too heavy. Is this related to any particular school of Buddhism? Don't worry if you cannot reply, I am merely a curious teenager exploring this path. Thank you so much for the helpful nature of this site.

Dear Kusalo,
Thanks for the site! Was looking for something to share with my 8 year old son. Tomorrow is a Wesak celebration at the Iowa City Zen Center - here in Iowa, USA! Found much to enjoy and to remind me.

Bruce - hayjoe@usa.net
Venerable Kusalo,
I found your site during my annual spring juice fast. It is thoughtful, inspiring, provoking, and very peaceful. I hope will grow and flourish. Do you fast? Can you offer any recommended reading about buddhism?

I must write to you with all my appreciation. I have just visited your sites
on the right half of the brain. The best sites I´ve seen on Internet this
far! I loved it! My child within laughed and laughed and never wanted to
stop playing. I have already recommended the sites to my friends, and I will be back soon.
Love Jaana Nykänen, Sweden

The meditation page is great. I use it often to just relax and take time out to find my inter self. What music is playing and can I purchase it somewhere. I would love to be able to listen to that music while painting or just to keep centered.
Please let me know. Thanks I love this site.

A wonderful site! Only I would like a home button on some of the pages as it is hard to move backwards.
I practice with a Sri-Lankan monk here in Southern California, and I've sent this page to my fellow students for there enjoyment and enlightenment.

Michelle Pearson" michelle.pearson@libertysurf.co.uk
Hi, First I would like to thank you for a wonderful site, which I found totally by accident. I have it now placed in my Favourites, so I can re visit at any time. Thank you.

Roberts, Wes" >Wes_Roberts@bmc.com
Your summary about the origins and preservation of the teachings were great. Thanks so much for you effort. Please keep updating!

sarazach" sarazach@email.msn.com
HI! This is a teriffic site! We found it (Sarah, Zachary and myself (their mom)), because Sarah (12) wanted to read something straight forward about the life of the Buddha. Not so much the teachings of the Buddha. Zach (11) is always basically curious about such spiritual matters, and was along for the ride. We never really found what we were looking for, but found this great site instead. It is ingenious, really. I know that I have spent as much time exploring it as they.

Dear Kusalo,
Maybe I should have put the Venerable bit in there but I'm not of sure how I should address you! What the purpose of this short note is, is just simply to say how nice it is to see a religious site with a sense of fun about itself. Also I am happy to see Buddhism, generally, having a more mainstream approach in the West. I will visit your site often. Keep up the good work. But, of course, don't let it get in the way of the meditation. Sean Donaghy, Co-Tyrone, N.

It is wonderful to see some children books that relate to Buddha teaching.
I have been looking for a long time. Also it is so wonderful to have children game that relate to the teaching. I plan to visit this site more often.
I very appreciate for making this wonderful site and very excellent for distance learning and be able to connect to Buddist community.

Tamra Jan GILES" tammrraa@bigpond.com
Hi I'm Angus. I'm 10 and I've found you pages very interesting and funny. My Mum is interested in Buddhism, and I'm interested aswell. I think the bit about the bird that flies to the crystal mountain is clever, and the DONT PUSH THIS! button is aswell

Wendy" whopper@mich.com
Hello- Thank you for the Shrine Room. It is very artistic: beautiful and effective. I would like to know though- why does the music stop after one playing? I have not explored your site fully yet, as my computer seems to want to meditate, too, but I look forward to checking it out thoroughly.

WmJBkr@aol.com
I spent an interesting time visiting and exploring, and you've done a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!

Your web site is a true inspiration for many reasons.

Lee Counsel thecounsels@bigpond.com.au
Thank you for the inspirational way you have developed and published your huge web site. I am very interested in developing left and right brain concepts for children. The layout is extremely interesting and the content is as rich - excitement to read on, to scan and visually dart around each page. The technical aspects of the applets are so very attractive - life is great !! Thank you for using your talent and commitment to this huge project. In peace.

Sitting at home, worried about business and life, I came across your site. It relaxed me. It was a pleasure, well designed too. I want to learn more about buddhism

Sunnata cyrilalv@iafrica.com
THANX,THANX,THANX!!! Virtuous Reality is pure MAGIC! a Great on-line site for the young ones (and hey the not so young too!). My two bodhisattva delight in "the shrine room", Miranda loves catstarz (more cat antics pleease requests Miranda). Being young Buddhist in a non Buddhist country is real tough going for them, classmates can be a dread when discussions about religion and God occurs especially when buddhist views are expressed by the children. The Virtuous Reality site has helped enoble their lives "Hey being Buddhist is real cool!" announced Byron my Bodhisunva recently, and ah ha!.... yes you have guessed Ven. Kusalo is the coolest monk (Ven. Dhammarakkita,- he of Australian descent was their Dhamma teacher until recently, now having gone off to Burma to further his own practice, has been promptly been replaced on the coolest monk's list). The non -Buddhist classmates (once their tormentors) are now eager to "check out" the Virtuous Reality site and Buddha/Buddhist/ Buddhism

Sukanda Pithayanukul sukhanda@hotmail.com
It is very wonderful web site. Children books, game that all relate to Buddha teaching. I have been looking for a long time how to introduce buddha teaching to my daughters. Thank you. I will visit this web site more often

Tom Ferguson t.ferguson@virgin.net

Erick T. Neiss ainulindale@frodo.net
Hello! Wonderful page, stunnning and flashy layout, and comprehensive, terrifically good information and teachings. It was a pleasure to come to this site. In fact, i think i may have been here before. This time i ended up here via the International Buddhist Center's page

Trisha trisha_mclatchie@hotmail.com
Oh, I am delighted, stunned, intrigued, fascinated. I may be moving my way towards Buddhism, certainly I am investigating and liking what I have found so far. This site is another part of the complex picture - and is so complex in itself. I have not scrateched the surface, but thanks so much for the opportunity to see what can be done with a combination of technology, mindfulness, creativity and what must be an amazing mind. I'm inspired to learn more Web production skills -thanks!! My favourite so far is the clear mind pool - I could look at it for ages!

TRUNINJA TRUNINJA1@aol.com
