Description:

You like or live buddhism? Then this swap is for you. :-)

Send your partner a care-package with buddhism things.

Examples can be (all things related to buddhism): a book, a little buddha, a mala, handcrafted buddha-things, postcards, tea, joss sticks. etc.

I don’t like price-limits so let’s say you should send 5 different items to your partner.

We all have enough time, to search for nice and wonderful things for our partner.

This swap is international!

I'll ban Users with a few bad ratings. It is unfair when someone sends a swap and gets nothing in return. Means, if I'm under the impression, that the User is not correct, I'll ban. Sorry.

It's not very friendly to send after the deadline, but if you have to, please tell your partner!!!

Have fun! :-)

My only request to my partner would be please no incense I cannot burn it, it always sets me off coughing! :-)

anouk 12/26/2006 #

may i put other items related to yin&yang, feng shui, etc. ? or it must be with buddha related?

and could some items be handmade?

i already enjoy this swap.

danke schon drachenfrau to host this swap.

Drachenfrau 12/26/2006 #

Hey Anouk, I would say Feng Shui and Yin Yang is ok. What do you all think? I've my package already done and looking forward to send. :-) Handmade is ok too.

I'm new here, so thanks for letting me join. I've run/participated in a lot of swaps/projects at the Nervousness site, if anyone is familiar with that, also in Yahoo groups.

I'm excited to be here! I have lots of little Buddhist goodies, and love to swap and trade stuff.

cerwinrhiannon 01/14/2007 #

I have what is probably a dumb question. How do we know who to send to?

Thanks-Chris

mela 01/30/2007 #

hi! i just want to let my partner know that i received my swap - but it's a bit sad because it has almost nothing in it that has to do with buddhism exept a handdrawn buddha on the envelope and a written buddhist quote...

Drachenfrau 01/30/2007 #

Hi mela, that's sad to hear. Please contact your partner and ask about it.

chaitea 01/31/2007 #

~My swap is on it's way~

I hope my partner likes it, and likes the way I interpreted buddhism and spirituality.......

inner strength and exploration, self care and love, nourishment........bliss

~goddess bless~

Glad you liked it, Catgirl. Besides the journal, I wasn't sure what to include.

Chris C.

alex 02/ 7/2007 #

me too Anouk, I did notice 2 not sents, maybe they are ours! :-( This seems to be happening to me a lot lately, I either dont get anything or it is extremely late, and I alwayse send mine out real quick. good luck!

anouk 02/ 8/2007 #

When I signed in for this swap, I believe and I still believe there was something different in this one. It sounded to me like a flow of joy and trust because ... hey... it's a Buddha swap. besides, it's the baseline of swapping: swapping with someone you never heard of before, never seen before but you do it because because tt's fun, mysterious (you don't know what you gonna get), it's really exciting!!! you do it because you believe that in this world there's people who can be trusted, who can trust you and you do something with love for a stranger, you do it to put a smile on the face of this stranger without thinking that you or they will gain something from it or take advantage.

I think people who signed in, are those who you can be trusted and I'm strongly believe that you (Alex) and I will get ours, maybe late (if the partner sent it by another means that airmail or registered mail).

By the way, it also happens to me a lot : I don't get anything or something really cheap. Sure, it makes me really sad. The sure thing is that the swapper who did not send anything, who did not communicate, can be exposed and be banned from future swapping.

let's cross our fingers, Alex!!! >_< it won't be no sending this time.

chaitea 02/ 9/2007 #

~I also have not gotten my swap, and don't think mine has made it's destination.

~I am starting to worry because it has been almost a month, and I do not want to give or get a bad rating.

~I don't know what the deal with the postal service is, it is disappointingly slow.............

~to my partner, my stuff is sent, and I do wish it to be a lot more speedy!!!

alex 02/ 9/2007 #

I agree Anouk, I contacted my partner and she has now sent mine out. But I will just mention something that happened to me today, to perhaps give all us 'sometime none receivers' hope. I live in the UK and this morning I received a phonecall from a man who is a police officer in Tasmani, Australia..I must admit I was getting ready for a prank call! However, he was for real and said that he had just received a parcel addressed to me, that somebody had sent me from the U.S. (the parcel turns out to be my package from Kathy for the pink swop I'm in) Now Kathy had put the correct address on..so how come it is in Australia you might ask? Well it seems that this lovely man had bought a radio from the U.S via ebay, and the ebay guy and Kathy must have used the same post office at the same time on the same day, and somehow the post office worker had put Wayne's custom label on my parcel, and then the postal worker instead of reading the address on the front, had just looked at the address on the customs label, and mailed it to Tasmania!!!! So this very kind man, has tracked me down, and is now sending it to me in the UK, and would not accept reimbursement for all his trouble etc....People are good, a nice story I think! :-)

chaitea 02/ 9/2007 #

~Alex, this is a fantastic story!!!

~what a wonderful guy for sending the parcel to it's rightful owner.

makes me want to pay more attention to what my postal guy is doing with the labels that get put on my parcels....I better pay more attention!

chaitea 02/ 9/2007 #

~the buddha is here!!!!!

goddess bless you, Lisa!!!

I wish I had a camera to take a pic of my beautiful new treasures...

anouk 02/11/2007 #

alex: what a story!!! it gives hope. I'm impatiently waiting for mine. haaaaaaaaa

cerwinrhiannon 02/12/2007 #
