The Dharma Storybooks website is being prepared by Bhante Anandajoti who has been resident in the East since 1987, mainly in Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and Malaysia. He ordained in the Theravada tradition in 1995 and received higher ordination the following year.

The posters are normally published with a minimal copyright attached, and the intention from the start has been to provide resources so that other people can find a ready stock of usable material legally available. The posters are published in high-definition size (1-5 MB) as well as in more accessible large (800px) thumbnail sizes, and are also available collected into PDFs.
