Hello Karen and Jason. I have been listening to your podcast for at least 3-4 yrs. You were the first Buddhists I have ever listened to. Over the last few years you have taught me so much. This show was so awesome and inspiring. I feel like you put a fire in my heart. To study and get out there and be an example. Thank you for all you do. Never Stop.

Much Grattitude to you both.This podcast Had a profound effect on me .It has been a challenge practicing in Ho Chi Minh City and this Gosho reminded me of my mission for kosen rufu.Please continue ,as it really helps in countries where there are no material readily available or SGI Centres.We here can only meet once a month and not allowed more than 5 members at a time in a home and must be careful not to be reported as we will be locked up!!
I am very grateful to all the SGI Members who have supported me to find other members here .Soraya Ho Sing Loy (member from Barbados…now living in Vietnam.)

Please, please, please give us a new podcast! 🙂
I keep checking daily and I’ve worked my way through the others, which are fantastic!
They are such a great boost of inspiration and clarity that we really have everything inside us that we need to win, just as we are, right now.
Many, many thanks,
Lily

I would like to send a message to Soraya Ho Sing Loy. Your struggle to practice makes me realize how lucky we are to be able to practice and how important it is to have gratitude for my situation.
I will chant for you! Valerie Podmore
