  1. This reading is so beautifully produced it is a pleasure to listen to – looking forward to the next chapter.

    Although I really enjoyed reading this book (& recommend it), it is sometimes pleasant to be read to, especially when doing routine tasks that don’t take much mental effort – this podcast is great for that.

    Gosh, well done all the people who put such a thoughtful effort into doing this.

  6. Beautiful production! Clear sound, music that harmonizes perfectly with the story’s fun and poignant mood, reading voice just right–all the right players came together over this enticing book. I can’t wait to hear the next chapter. This “audiobook” idea and your choice of books is the most obvious step after having someone read from SGI resources.

    You have a hit!

    Enthusiastically,
    Donna

  7. Awesome podcast! Wonderfully produced and the narrating’s excellent. I think it’s the best episode so far. Now I might just have to buy the book; I can’t wait 2 weeks for another chapter.

  9. Excellent production and lovely voice – it even kept my 12 year old daughter and her friend away from their computers! More please, as soon as possible!

  10. An SGI member I met on Myspace told me about this site and story. I have only listenned to chapter 4 tonight and absolutely loved it.
    Tomorrow I will listen to 1 to 3 and then 4 again.

    Thank you so much and congratulations! This is definitely the way we should be spreading Nam myoho renge kyo in the 21st century – as Nichiren instructed ‘according to the place and time’.

    Some argue that it should be kept in the temples and not commercialised. Well everything in the west today gets there through commercial promotion. People like to be entertained and not just preached at, and from what i have heard so far, this story is extremely entertaining and educational at the same time.

    I only hope our book ‘The Great Mystic Law Of The Universe’ will be as exciting to others as this one has been to us.

    We wish you great success in every way…
