Venerable Wuling

 

To the person who is creating

Venerable Wu Ling

facebook pages:

 

While I am sure your intentions are good,

 I was very surprised to see someone had created

Venerable Wu Ling facebook pages

 without asking my permiission

or whether I even wanted to be on facebook.

I do not.


Also you have indicated "Favorite Pages"

implying my endorsement of the listed pages. 

Not having seen the pages, they cannot be considered "my" favorites.

 

On December 30th you posted the following maxim from Guidelines for Being a Good Person,

Before using something that belongs to another,

we should ask for permission.

If we do not ask, it is stealing.


A name belongs to the person it identifies.

 

As I believe you sincerely wish to help in the propagation of the teachings,

I encourage you to find another

and more appropriate way

to help.

 

Please remove the pages.

Thank you
