Thank you for your continuing support in viewing the seventh issue of our Internet Magazine, "The Buddhist Door".

"Buddhism in a Nutshell" Part V covers two topics: the Law of Dependent Origination and the Three Universal Characteristics and Truths. In these two topics, we try to present an introduction to the basics of philosophy in Buddhism.

The section on famous characters in Buddhism covers Manjusri Bodhisattva in this issue. "Buddha's Life" continues to the Part VII.

Starting from this issue, we present a series on "Diamond Sutra", which is probably the most popular text on Mahayana Buddhism after the Heart Sutra. There is also an article on the "Buddhist Orders" from Reverand Yin Tak, the Abbess and Board Director of Tung Lin Kok Yuen, Canada Society.

Acknowledgement for the sources of some text and images : The images, titles as well as the text in the section of "Buddha's Life" are taken from "The Illustrated History of Buddhism" by The Young Men's Buddhist Association, Rangoon, reprinted by The Thervada Buddhist Society of America.

We hope that you enjoy this issue. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know. We look forward to seeing you again in July.
