Volunteer Opportunity

Editing Video Files of Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi’s “In the Buddha’s Words” Course

We are still searching for a volunteer to edit the video files of Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi’s lectures from his ongoing course “Going to the Source of the Buddha’s Teachings” that uses as a primary textbook Bhikkhu Bodhi’s anthology, In the Buddha’s Words. You need not live locally or even in the U.S. to help. This would require someone with experience in digital video editing to be formatted to post online.
