   Nice Video
   After hearing your podcast, frankly get connected to you and your family + friends. Maybe times I chant I recall certain buddhist term or Sensei guidance you podcast. Thanks a lot.
   “if not you than who ? if not now than when? ”
   Your “HOPE” of creating Video of Sensei, Life of Nichiren Daishonin is all about you -> “if not you than who ? if not now than when? ”
   Looking forward to hear your Victories News

   “The Victory of Disciples is the Victory of the Mentor, the Victory of Buddhism”

   Great stuff as always Jason and Karen (and William) – every time a podcast comes out I am totally Chuffed!
   To make me even more Chuffed – I am coming back to the UK on 17th June for my (old) Grand Union HQ course at Taplow that weekend. I cannot wait!! I did not think it would work out for several reasons, but the power of daimoku strikes again!

   also has anyone ever told you Jason that you sound like Ricky Gervais?? 😉

   Hey Jason,

   Fantastic! I hear the seed of a goal (not quite a vow yet) in your video. So great to hear your podcasts and you and Karen do such a wondeful job teaching others to the best of your ability … sometimes I just recall a single word or phrase and it sort of inspires me in many ways. You can believe me when I say this inspiration ripples through the big pond and affects others. Thanks so much for your efforts!

   Keep up the good work, man!

   If not you then who?
   If not now then when?

   Adios, Amigo!

   Hi Beau! Thank you for the comment. I felt I should tell you that we are members of the Soka Gakkai and as such we have no association with any temples or priests. If you are interested in practicing with the Soka Gakkai International, we can help you find a center or members local to you!
   It is a long history, that is definitely worth studying, but we were excommunicated by the priesthood for refusing to provide financial and moral support for their corrupt behaviour and lifestyles.
   Have a great week!

   Thanks Jason and everyone
   I’m presently working on the SGI-UK talking Bulletin (as well as AoL). Your podcast is a real inspiration and an encouragement.
   I also have Sensie’s guidance (if not you, who) on my Butsudan.As it says, if We don’t stand up, who will?
   Thanks for all the hard work and again, the encouragement!

   Hello Jason and Karen! I’ve listened to William’s reading several times now (so inspiring!) but just today had the time to listen to the fantastic experiences as well. I felt swept away around the world by them, and by their victories I’m confident that we are indeed in Act II of kosen rufu. I hope more people send in their experiences with the quotes from Nichiren and Daisaku Ikeda that have lifted their wings to victory. Thanks to Phil Campbell for his support to continue making the podcast happen. Finally, these song choices are so wonderful–I’m so proud of the contributions these precious talented members make to growing our hearts, and thank you Jason and Karen for making certain we don’t miss out on them. Great show!!

    great stuff.. cheers
    p.s: i think for everyone that leaves a comment there are ten others who would have but somehow dont get a chance to. so multiply your number of comments by 10 and then maybe you might begin to understand the immense benefit you guys provide….

    Beau – correct me if I’m wrong Jason, but I think the song is by Geoff Smith.

    I think that your idea to make a film in Japan showing the actual places where Nichiren lived is an absolutely fantastic goal for you to reach!
