From
the Urban Dharma Podcast Mail Bag:
Suffering is optional / This podcast is like a
cup of hot chocolate and a warm blanket made just for
Buddhists. I love it. - Xuochi
Accidental Buddhist / I was curious about Buddhism and
stumbled on to this podcast, or did I? / I totally relate to
Rev Kusala’s sense of humor, love of motorcycles, the blues
chocolate cake and cats. I’ve learned many things listening to
his words of wisdom and lifetime of experience. ' Keep on
Truckin Kusala - Brad N.
"I
have been listening to your podcasts as I drive around
Sydney, Australia. I am a beginner in Buddhism and your
podcasts have really helped and inspired me to continue
along
the path.
Thank you for sharing the dharma, it has been a gift. Warm
regards, F. W. S. - PS, Just went on my first
mediation retreat this weekend!"
"Just
thought I'd let you know that I absolutely love listening
to your podcasts. They're very informative and
are great to listen to whenever I need a reminder to
be more mindful, whether that is after a hard day of
school
work or just while putting away the laundry." - M.S.,
USA
I
want to compliment you on and thank you for your Urban
Dharma Podcasts. I listen to them with great joy. You have
the gift to bring buddhist knowledge in a very down to
earth way. I like your style." - P.H., The Netherlands
"I
just wanted to thank you for providing me with information
on Buddhism via your podcast. I listen to them on my
way to and from work and what prompted me to write you
was
the fact that I actually understand what you are teaching."
- Rick, USA
"Thank
you for your podcasts. I have begun to really understand
the practical application of some of the Buddhist precepts
I have felt for some time 'should' work, but whose meaning,
significance, and everyday relevance I could never understand.
To this fairly slow-to-convince tradition based English
guy, you have succeeded where Christmas Humphreys never
quite did. Thanks very much Kusala; I think I may be
even ready/eager for some meditation now for the first
time. Best wishes and thank you again - I am grateful
for the time & effort you spend getting your stuff
out online. Just wanted you to know." - R. B., Manchester,
England

Mindfulness
Meditation Q & A - Posted 4/2006 - 38 min - MP3 - 8.8 MB //
Q & A
from my talk on Mindfulness Meditation at True Yoga.
There were many questions about Karma, Self and Soul
after my talk on mindfulness. This podcast contains those
questions and answers. Sorry to say I only had one mic
so the questions are hard to hear,
but the answers I gave should give you a good idea of what was being asked.
Karma, Self and Soul seem to be a sticking point for
a lot of folks new to Buddhism. I'm hoping what I had
to say on the subject adds some clarity and insight to
the question, is it OK for a Buddhist to have a Soul
or Self? (www.TrueYoga.com)
