Podcast Episode 35: Buddhist Christmas, Pessimism in Buddhism, and Meat
Welcome back, this is Daily Buddhism audio show number thirty-five. My name is Brian Schell, and I am the your host for the show. You can find the text as well as all links mentioned in this program and all past episodes on the website at www.dailybuddhism.com. Send your questions, comments, suggestions and thoughts to me at dailybuddhism@gmail.com
Announcements:
Do you like the podcast? If you do, you can help out by putting up a good review for the show at iTunes. You don’t need to write anything lengthy or complex, just a sentence or two. I’ve added a special link to the site to make this easier for you: just go to http://www.dailybuddhism.com/itunes and if you have iTunes installed, it will automatically open up and find the show in the iTunes store, then you can just enter your review right there. I appreciate it and so might other potential listeners.
A reminder: All of the articles and posts you hear about on the show go out in our free daily email and are posted on the DB website. Many readers go to the website and post their own comments and ideas on the topics there. So don’t just listen to me here on the show, stop in and read the comments on the website; many readers add some great insight to what I have to say.
Let’s see‚Ķ over the past few months I’ve had a few people as about the theme music from the show. The music is not from a CD you can go out and buy, it’s a short sound clip included with Garageband, the software I use to make the show. If you have Garageband, the clip is called ‚ÄúShogun.‚Äù I’ll play the entire clip for you at the end of the show.
Please keep your questions coming in, whether by email or phone. Please be aware however, that I am starting to build up a little backlog, and I might not get to your question the same week you send it in. Personal messages or something that sounds urgent, I’ll answer by email right away as always, but questions for the show are stacking up. I will answer every single question eventually, it’s going to take some time.
On the subject of questions, I mentioned last week that if you phone in your question and I use it on the show, you’ll win a free month of the Weekly Buddhism PDF Magazine. I gave away a month subscription last week, and I have another for this week and next week, but more is always good. Call in with your question at 937-660-4949.
