Podcast Episode 55: Race, Violence, and Shaolin Qi Gong

Announcements:

Nothing major to announce this week, but a couple of things I’d like to remind you about. First, everything I read here on the show appeared first in the free daily email newsletter. Every weekday I send out a message by email containing the article or story that you hear me read here. If you want to be ahead of the game and know where the show is going, sign up for the email. It really is free, and there’s no spam, just one email a day with my article in it.

Also, I’d like to put out a reminder that I do run several other websites, and you can find a short directory of them at http://www.replaymedia.com You can find the whole list there, some are fun; some are educational. Check ‚Äòem out!

Our sponsor this week is once again, Mighty leaf Tea. They’ve got lots of different teas for your enjoyment, hot and cold. They have the basic teas, but also tea accessories; pot, cups, and much more. Check them out for your Buddhist tea ceremony or just because you love their flavor. Get special deals and free samples by visiting http://www.dailybuddhism.com/tea

And now let’s get on with this week’s show!

Podcast Episode 54: Choices and Rewards

Announcements:

As I mentioned last time, issue #27 of the Weekly Buddhism PDF Magazine was the final weekly issue. Starting in May, the new version will be known as the Monthly Buddhism PDF Magazine.

The MAY issue of the all-new Monthly Buddhism PDF Magazine will be available around the first of May and will include all postings and comments from the Daily Buddhism website during the month of April as well as a few special items. It’ll be an easy and attractive way to have everything in one convenient package. In the meantime, I’ve set up an option to purchase the entire set of the Weekly Buddhism past issues. That’s all 27 issues in one easy purchase. Check out http://www.weeklybuddhism.com

Sponsor: eHealthinsurance. Have you recently lost your health insurance or are looking for ways to save on your insurance? We all know how important health insurance can be, but how do you know where to start looking? Check out eHealthInsurace for free comparison quotes. Just enter your zip code and a few lifestyle questions, and they’ll show you actual rates from your region. It’s pretty neat. Check them out at http://dailybuddhism.com/ehealth

We covered some great topics in this week’s free Daily Buddhism Email Newsletter, and we’ll cover them shortly in this week’s episode. Of all the stuff we do on the Daily Buddhism, I like answering your questions the most, so send in yours by email to brian@dailybuddhism.com or voicemail at 937-660-4949. Seriously; you’ve got questions, so don’t wait to share them!

And now let’s get on with this week’s show!

Podcast Episode 53: Resentment, Living Wills, and the Dreaded Door Knock.

Announcements:

Tomorrow’s issue #27 of the Weekly Buddhism PDF Magazine will be the final weekly issue. After months of tinkering and thinking, I’ve decided that there just isn’t enough content in one week’s postings to justify a weekly release. Instead, I will do the same thing on a MONTHLY basis. There will be vastly more content per issue, and you’ll only have one-fourth the number of issues to try to keep current. Also, I won’t have to hurry so much to keep up with it, so quality will be higher. Very little of the Daily Buddhism’s content is time-sensitive, so not much will be lost by switching to a larger monthly format.

The MAY issue of the all-new Monthly Buddhism PDF Magazine will be available around the first of May and will include all postings and comments from the Daily Buddhism website during the month of April as well as a few special items. It’ll be an easy way to have everything in one convenient package. The cover price will now be $5.00 per month, which is essentially the same as a month’s worth of weekly issues are now; subscriptions will carry over without change unless you decide to cancel. Essentially, you’ll be getting four times as much information, one-fourth as often, at the same cost. Please feel free to email me your comments on this change.

Sponsor: Mighty Leaf Tea brings you the widest variety of high-quality teas, teaware, and tea-related gifts right to your door. You can perform your regular Buddhist tea rituals with Mighty Leaf Teas or just drink it because it’s great! Summer is coming and they have a great selection of iced teas as well as the hot stuff. For special deals and free sample teas with every order, check out http://www.dailybuddhism.com/tea

We covered some great topics in this week’s free Daily Buddhism Email Newsletter, and we’ll cover them shortly in this week’s episode. Of all the stuff we do on the Daily Buddhism, I like answering your questions the most, so send in yours by email to brian@dailybuddhism.com or voicemail at 937-660-4949. No question is too small or oddball! I answer ALL questions. However, once in a while I get one that I either don’t know the answer to, or don’t really feel qualified to answer. I’ve got two of those here, one of which I’ve been procrastinating on for weeks, so I’m going to open them up to anyone listening. If you have an answer or suggestion, send me an email or comment on the show notes for this episode of the podcast. Here goes:
