Abstract

Wisdom Publications is the leading publisher of books and online courses on contemporary and classic Buddhism, mindfulness, and meditation. They are also the premier membership platform for Buddhists, having launched the Wisdom Experience in 2019 and now providing hundreds of hours of video and thousands of pages of books for their members to read online. Additionally, they publish the Wisdom Podcast and the Wisdom Journal. The Buddhism Public Scholar will work with the Publisher to publish digital versions of Wisdom translations and to link them with their original language editions.
