Chinese Buddhist Encyclopedia
HELP & SUPPORT Chinese Buddhist Encyclopedia
I visited the social services today and asked for money to buy new glasses because I cannot do encyclopedia any more with old glasses. In response to my request I was told that as I am older than 65, I have to manage my life myself.
Already earlier I was told in social service that nobody needs this encyclopedia and there is no sense in it, Swedish authorities do not support such work which is connected to Buddhism. As Sweden is a Christian country there is a feeling of state`s hostility to Buddhism and Buddhist activities, it can be interpreted as Sweden hates Buddhism.
So that I can do further encyclopedia, that I have been doing for 8 years, 14 hours a day without a day off, it would be good if someone who favored Buddhism would donate some for new glasses. I also desperately need a new computer because the old one is almost dead. I just hope that someone who values my work here will help and support me.
Thanking you in advance,
Vello Vaartnou

Back in Berkeley
The PNC was founded at the University of California, Berkeley and it encourages scholars, academic institutions, and universities to collaborate and exchange their academic resources and research expertise.
It is really wonderful, that Western Australia which is usually known for the mining boom, was represented by two people who deal with the academic aspect of Buddhism on international level. Until today, Western Australian universities do not have Buddhist studies at all.
Prof. Emeritus Lewis Lancaster from UC Berkeley was the key speaker of the first International Conference Buddhism & Australia was very satisfied with the conference, academic presentations and organizational work. He considered that it is necessary to establish connection between Perth and UC Berkeley
Already in 2012, Vello Vaartnou represented Australia at the UC Berkeley and introduced his century project, an online Chinese Buddhist Encyclopedia to the international audience. Last year, Australia was represented by Marju Broder at the Berkeley PNC conference at the University of Macau, where the projects of Buddhism & Australia were discussed.
Two research papers on Buddhist history was presented at the PNC 2016 in Los Angeles this year. Vello Vaartnou research introduced Buryat Buddhist history( Samdan Tsydenov, Bidja Dandaron and the Abbot of Kumbum) and Marju Broder talked about Karl Tonisson, the father of Estonian Buddhism and his connections with Buryatia and Asian countries.
Guru mandala thanka made by Vello Vaartnou was presented to UC Berkeley and Prof. Lancaster
