Thanks to Jessica Miller who not only did the wonderful artwork for tonights show but also came up with the idea of asking Kevin Robinson to give tonights lecture. Kevin originally gave this lecture at the North London Area Course at Trets in September this year (2008). I travelled up to London and we recorded this lecture at Kevin’s wonderful home. Its about Prayer and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording and putting it together! I know that Kevin is passionate about supporting an organisation called Reprieve, so if you get a moment, please take this opportunity to have a look at the work of Reprieve, they do really human work in what sometimes seems a very inhuman world.Great shoutouts from the wonderful Karen and some wonderful music from Mark Erelli singing The Only Way and Bob Gentry singing Goldie Hawn! Both tracks are available from the Podsafe Music Network. Again we had planned to play the second half of William Woollards Chapter 1 tonight. However, we wanted to include an interview that we are working on but we did not manage to get it done in time! Bear with us and we hope the next show will include the second half! Thank you so much for listening and for your encouraging comments and emails. Enjoy the show and have a great week.

Tonight we are looking at another passage from Nichiren Daishonin’s letter to Sairen-bo, The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life. The theme of tonights lecture is the Bodhisattvas of the Earth and it includes the following headings!
What is Buddhism about?
Bodhisattva Superior Practices
Belief is not enough
The Mystic Law is life itself
What does Nam-myoho-renge-kyo mean?
Our lives are the candles of life
Flushing with the Mystic Law
Blowing away negativity
Nurturing life
Tapping our toes to the tune of the Mystic Law
Awakening others to the greatness within their lives
We have a wonderful experience from Jonathan Steele and shoutouts that stretch across the world!
Tonights music comes from the Podsafe Music Network. We play a great relaxing kick back tune from Slackstring called Sun Again Will Shine. Also tonight we have a really great tune from singer songwriter Amy Regan, what an amazing voice, she sings Everybody Needs Somewhere To Go.
Thank you for listening and for the wonderful comments and kind emails. A very special thank you to Peter Waring, Alan McIntyre, the Youth Division and Members of the amazing 3 Castles Chapter in the East Midlands, UK who invited me to give this lecture earlier this month. Their hospitality and kindness is deeply appreciated. Have a wonderful week!
