I'm starting at the very beginning 2006, so a lot of catching up to do...Many many thanks, both of you have such lovely, mellow voices...Dan.

I know how hard it must be at times to keep it up and I am chanting to support you with this as it is so important. I have sent your podcast link to many members and friends already and will continue to do so. I have practiced for over 20 years in Canada and because of an insane schedule with raising two wonderful boys, working full time as an environmental risk assessor for the government, which includes a 4 hour commute each day, I find it so difficult to get to meetings, especially since I live in the country, renovating an old house that tries hard to provide us with the basic necessities. Lately I have found it more difficult than ever not to doubt myself and my efforts - always thinking 'I must be doing something wrong'. Then I discovered your podcast in July and I listen to it as much as possible, usually in the background while working/cleaning. Your sincere and totally upfront discussion of your experiences (especially the taxman), and the way you connect it with the Gosho and President Ikeda's guidance, have helped me to put everything back into perspective. In particular, you continually remind me of what this practice is really all about - changing the course of humanity so that ALL people can become truly happy, and respected and cared for. This is something I have wanted to work for ever since I was a kid, but when we get caught up with everything its so hard to keep that in sight. Again...thank you!! P.S. Since I heard your daimoku determination of 2 hours/day Jason, I have done the same and I'm able to stick to it. I'm tired, but its so obvious how it supports my children, my work and my life.

My name is Ana Ines, I was born in Argentina, now Im living in Spain. I´ve been practicing this fantastic budism since I was 15, my parents and my elder brother parctice too. I recieved my own Gohonzon while I was in Norway, last winter. Since I`ve arrived to Eurpore a year ago, I had to make my practice stronger, because I have to be stronger, and I am getting stronger day by day; Im growing limitless, and I feel I can face every difficult that might present. Tina Davis, from Norway, told me about this website, and since then, I download all the programs and I lisent to them every night. I like the program not only because I can deephened my understanding of the budism but also because once I start hearing the program I feel like Im in a warm place, like being with family. You inspaire me and encourged me every day to develop myself as a capable people, and also to deephend my master-disciple relationship. Congratulation for the program, thanks so much! Ana PD: I apologise for my bad writen english full of grammar and spelling mistakes. Hi!!! My name is Ana Ines, I was born in Argentina, now Im living in Spain.

I particularly enjoyed the answer to "What does Nam-myoho-renge-kyo mean?" I've place a sticky note on my monitor with "I dedicate my life to bringing out the very best in myself and in all people" as a constant reminder. It should be embroidered on a shirt! That statement sums up very well what I have tried to do most of my life but not always succeeded. For that matter, I probably have daily episodes where I can reflect and say "that really wasn't my very best" with the occasional showing of "the worse of me." Thank you for the shoutout! Well done!

At bedtime, I asked her if we could do it again and she wanted to chant then read a book. We repeat the Daimoku 3 times. What does Nam-myoho-renge-kyo mean?
