Where to buy your Buddhist supplies?

Welcome to RF! :flower:
Which kind of Buddhist supplies? Are you looking for ways to organize an altar? Sutras to study? Can you be more specific?
Mostly, I try to find distributors and vendors that are Fair Trade. Any vendor that abides by this nearly always has material that is authentic as well. :yes:
Peace,

Or you can try your local Buddhist temples (if there are any in Moscow).
Some temples distribute Sutras and Buddhist literatures free of charge and I am sure monk and nuns will be more than happy to help you.

I would recommend trying to find a merchant through Fair Trade.

I'm sure you can find a vendor that will supply you with thangkas, stupas, singing bowls, water bowls, incense, images of the Buddha, sutras...........most anything that will supply your altar.

LOL with discounts and imported straight from Thailand
No, I do not "sell" anything I was just offering to help a fellow Buddhist. It would be un-Buddhist to extort a profit for such a thing. I saw a meditation bench on the inter net for $150 I can buy it here for $10 and the shipping is probably $10 it is more likely I would lose money doing something for someone than profit from it. Believe me if I needed money I wouldn't be living and working in Thailand.

Yep, I'm just saying... because I wouldn't put it past some people to try it.

Nothing in Buddhism against making an honest profit. Otherwise the Buddha would not have accepted the gifts of land and such. In fact I remember reading where a merchant asked the Buddha how much he should donate to the sangha and the Buddha replied,"One quater of the profit" or something like that.
That's new to me. If anyone knows anything about this I would be very interested in it.

I think it's perfectly ok to make a living (make a living is more appropriate in this case).
It's perfectly fine to make a profit in order to make a livng ; as long as one do not go against Vinayas.
However regarding the issue of providing Buddhist items for fellow Buddhists I think it would be good if no profit is made.
