Podcast Episode 19: Christian Karma and Buddhist Dogfood

And welcome back! This is Episode 19 of the Daily Buddhism, and I am your host, Brian Schell. I don’t have too much in the way of announcements this week, but I do want to point out a few quick things:

• Monday is a holiday and I’ll be out of town, so there won’t be a daily email on Monday.

• Not much has changed as far as donations are concerned since last week; but I’m not going to keep harping on it.

• This is already Episode 19. Wow; it seems like we’ve only just started! The good news is that I have material to continue for pretty much forever. The bad news is that all the audio shows cannot stay available online forever. Between web hosting space, and more importantly, bandwidth issues, I am going to start taking down some of the oldest shows starting next week. I hope to be able to leave the past 15 weeks of audio shows online, so each week as I add a new one, I’ll take off one from way back.

My recommendation for now is that if you don’t already have all the back episodes of the show, that you should find the ones you don’t already have and download them now while they’re still here. Remember, we started out with an episode ‚Äúzero‚Äù for an introductory show. Hmm. I guess that actually makes this the 20th episode.

You can find them all here (this week anyway):

Podcast Episode 17

Welcome back, This is episode 17 of the Daily Buddhism, and I’m your host, Brian Schell. Before we get started recapping the week’s material, I’ve got a couple of quick announcements.

A few weeks back, I announced that I had audio recordings of the entire Tao te ching available for purchase on the Taooftheday.com website, and starting today, I now have a 2 CD set of the Dhammapada available on the Daily Buddhism site, once again recorded by yours truly. It’s available directly from the website and there’s a link over on the left hand side of the screen, under the heading ‚ÄúPages‚Äù I’ll also include a link in the show notes. Starting this week, we’ll be taking a look at the Dhammapada, in my opinion the single most important ancient text in Buddhism. We’ll talk a little bit more about the Dhammapada later in this episode.

And now it’s time for me to make another call for donations. Call it a “pledge drive” if you prefer. Although I’ve gotten a few donations, I can’t say that I am overwhelmed. I absolutely want to thank the people who have sent in donations. I’m still trying to pay off the microphone I bought way back around episode 7, and I had also hoped to get a voice mail number like some other podcasts have, but I don’t see that happening without additional support. Sooner or later, I’ll need to pay for web hosting for another year. The link to donate is there on the site, it’s easy to find. I always enjoy your emails and letters of encouragement, but you know‚ c’mon guys, out of literally thousands of listeners, this begging shouldn’t be needed every week. I’ve got a specific target goal that I need to reach, and then I can stop pestering, I mean begging, every week.

OK, and now on with the show!
