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.
