Did you 'print sutra' as in reproducing sutras by hand, engaged a printing company or donate money for such purposes?
 
 
I engaged a printing company to print the sutras. There are many ways to print sutras. Can donate to Buddhist temples, they accept any amount. I understand that not just printing sutras, donate to print any materials related to Dharma is also considered as propagating Buddhism and at the same time accumulate merits.

In fact, the best is to donate to the temple as by doing so we don't need to worry about the distribution.

I know Mahabodhi Monastery 菩提阁,they print the magazine "LUMINOUS" on a monthly basis and need money to do so. Anyone interested can call 64664425. They accept any amount. 随缘.

In fact by posting Dharma teachings here can also help to propagate the Buddha Dharma and at the same time accumulate merits.
