How should Buddhists sign off on email?

“How should one Buddhist sign off on an email to another Buddhist? It’s no big deal, right? Wrong. It is way more complicated than you can imagine,” says Sumi Loundon Kim in a guest post over at the ever-hip Buddhist pop- and sub-culture site The Worst Horse.

‘Metta’ is overused, and ‘love’ isn’t something you say to just anyone, so…what is an acceptable form of closure?

Sumi—who authored Blue Jean Buddha: Voices of Young Buddhists and The Buddha’s Apprentices: More Voices of Young Buddhists and is a frequent contributor to our magazines—says she’s come up with two solutions. Jump to the Horse for the story.

    Thanks for this interesting post, Molly. A request for future SunSpace posts: please include more specific hyperlinks to the articles you’re referring to. In this story, you linked to the main page of theworsthorse.com, but, since they update their website somewhat frequently, it may take one a bit of wandering before finding the article mentioned in the SunSpace post. In the end, I found it here:

    best,

    Tyler
