Welcome to the first show of the year! Tonights Jason lectures on the writing, On Practicing The Buddha's Teachings. His lecture is based on President Ikeda's lectures series from The Teaching for Victory. Some of the theme for tonight include: From provisional to true How did Buddhism get so confused Former, middle and latter day of the law An accursed time Changing our minds The banner of our behaviour Archers of the mystic law Three carts and the burning house Shakabuku, compassion and reason Using struggles to become happy We have an great and inspiring experience that covers 40 year of faith from Roxanne Rae in Oregan. We also have music from Nic Saunders who kindly allowed us to play a piece from his Weald and Downland Suite, its called The Water Mill. From the pod safe music network we have Geoff Smith playing Gravity and Death Cab for Cutie with Title and Registration.  Thank you so much for continuing to listen and support the show.
