Editor's Note

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the 2020/21 Edition of Footprints. Thank you for your interest in this publication; I hope your curiosity is well rewarded.

‘Footprints’ is an annual magazine published by the Lankarama Buddhist Youth Group (LBYG), distributed with the aim to edify readers on a variety of Buddhist concepts. Each magazine contains valuable contributions from members of both the LBYG and the wider community, broadening our collective knowledge base year upon year.

Previous editions of Footprints are enriched with informative and thought-provoking articles which provide deeper insights into Buddhist principles. We have maintained this tradition while promoting the inclusion of more creative pieces, including poems and illustrations.

The publication of this magazine has been made possible thanks to the submissions of many kind and diligent contributors. I have very much enjoyed reading through their works; I hope members continue to express their knowledge and thoughts through this publication.

I wish to thank the Footprints team for their continuous support and dedication to their roles. With much persistence and eagerness, they strove to craft a magazine which will draw in readers and keep them engaged.

Last but not least, I highly recommend anyone reading this considers taking up the role of Chief Editor - Footprints in future. I've found it to be an incredibly rewarding experience through witnessing the excitement of contributors and leading the publication of their works.
