Hello Jarrett Family & the world!
Well, I got the T-Shirt and have worn it already … in fact it’s one of my fave shirts to wear 🙂 I put one of the stickers on the back of my scooter… above the license plate and I use the “coasters” for my coffee/tea cups to sit on. Let’s see … I’ve told others in my district (Apache District) about your show.
I’ve discovered that I’m in SGI-USA’s SouthWest Zone/Arizona Region/East Valley Chapter/Apache district.
The Arizona Region covers the states of Arizona & New Mexico plus El Paso (in Texas).
I have some plans formulating in my head … with my military background, Native American connections (First Nations etc.) and with my bilingual abilities (Spanish and English … mainly)…
I should be able to use all of that plus my life’s experiences as a means to SHAKUBUKU … for KOSEN RUFU … this is what is becoming my goal more and more. Of course … I have to work on myself a LOT and learn more … but that will come. Thanks again Karen, Jason and family! You’ve been influential in really turning my life around … for the better. I can’t thank you enough for what you do, and I know it’s been tough for you to do all that you do … but I also know that you know that it’s worth it 🙂 high five … big smiles. Also … please give my thanks to Mr. William Woollard for an excellent reading of his book which I enjoy listening to. (Also my great grandma’s maiden name was “Woolard” but they left The British Isles in the 1700’s … I wonder if we are related somehow? haha … long shot … but possible) I think I might have to resubscribe to ancestry.com again … LOL (if I can find the time that is)… sorry for the long windedness, take great care of YOURselves and thanks again for all that you do.

Another great show! Thank you so much for the great work you do… Your podcast helps me stay connected to my SGI practice. Due to my split-shift work schedule it is hard for me to attend my local SGI activities on a regular basis, but I always take A Buddhist Podcast with me and listen to them at work! I anxiously await the next podcast, until then sending massive mojo, light and love. :

Hi Jason and Karen,
I noticed I could no longer download the tracks or listen online. Has something changed? Please advise. Many thanks.
Regards,
Douglas

OOOOOOOOO, thank you so much for being there.
I have heard this podcast 5 times today, and it has sank in to my very heart.
I am learning su much thanks to you two, for I practice completly alone, please chant for me to be able to have a group.
However, with you I feel I already have a group, this is fantastic.
Love you.
