520 |a This paper explores the early formation of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship and its recent efforts to recreate itself. Originally envisioned as a network of local BPF chapters undertaking peacemaking and ecological projects at the regional level, it has become a web-based network of like-minded individuals connecting online. The founders published a mimeographed newsletter with inspirational translations of historical teachers and information regarding peacemaking efforts and descriptions of Asian Buddhists suffering from violence to discrimination. While the basic mission remains unchanged, current leadership faces a very different landscape, socially, politically and technologically. Current events coverage now routinely includes stories related to violence committed by Buddhists. Reaching out to a younger, less historically minded generation of Buddhists, the organisers seek to revitalise the movement with an online pedagogy called "The System Stinks", inspired by an iconographic image of Robert Aitken protesting the second war in Iraq.
