This is Episode 20 of the Daily Buddhism, and I am your host, Brian Schell.nbsp; We had a short week this time because of the holiday, so we only had four topics this week. The big announcement of the week was that we do now have the call-in number. Write this down!nbsp; You can call 24 hours a day with your questions or topic ideas, your comments and suggestions, or anything else that you think might interest listeners here.nbsp; The number is 937-660-4949 ndash; Call in and let me know what you think on any topic.nbsp; And of course you can always send me email at dailybuddhism@gmail.com Stop in at the website, http://www.dailybuddhism.com. Comment on any topic, or sign up for the daily mailing list while yoursquo;re there.nbsp; Donating to the site is easy and helps keep things running here better and better. If yoursquo;d like to help out without sending money, you can look up the Daily Buddhism in the podcast section of the iTunes Store and leave a review for the show there.nbsp; I think I only have six reviews up there now, and I know I wrote one of them myself, so that doesnrsquo;t really count. As far as my other podcasts, the last I checked, no one had ever written a review for the Tao of the Day site, so if you listen to that one and like it, write a review on that one too. And someone just left an amazing review for Arcane Tales on iTunes; a review like that makes doing it all extra rewarding for me.nbsp; The other sites and shows are fun to do, but Daily Buddhism is my flagship show, and that's were the action really is. Keep your emails and questions coming in, I love doing this!

This is Episode 19 of the Daily Buddhism, and I am your host, Brian Schell.nbsp; ... 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.nbsp; 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 Irsquo;ll be out of town, so there wonrsquo;t be a daily email on Monday. * Not much has changed as far as donations are concerned since last week; but Irsquo;m not going to keep harping on it. * This is already Episode 19. Wow; it seems like wersquo;ve only just started!nbsp; 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, Irsquo;ll take off one from way back. My recommendation for now is that if you donrsquo;t already have all the back episodes of the show, that you should find the ones you donrsquo;t already have and download them now while theyrsquo;re still here. Remember, we started out with an episode ldquo;zerordquo; for an introductory show. Hmm. I guess that actually makes this the 20th episode. You can find them all here (this week anyway): http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/category/podcasts This weekrsquo;s links: Christian Karma? http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/133 Intoxication: The Last Word (For now) http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/139 Buddhist Jargon and Terminology http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/140 Koan: The Moon Cannot Be Stolen http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/142 Buddhist Dog Food http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/141 Dhammapada Chapter 3:nbsp; Thought http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/143 Announcements,,Daily,Buddhism,,Podcasts Brian Schell clean No http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/143 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/143#comments Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:01:53 +0000 Brian Schell http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/143 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/143/feed http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/142 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/142#comments Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:07:27 +0000 Brian Schell http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/142 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/142/feed http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/141 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/141#comments Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:47:07 +0000 Brian Schell http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/141 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/141/feed http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/140 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/140#comments Wed, 27 Aug 2008 15:13:31 +0000 Brian Schell http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/140 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/140/feed http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/139 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/139#comments Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:42:51 +0000 Brian Schell http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/139 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/139/feed http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/133 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/133#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:01:07 +0000 Brian Schell http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/133 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/133/feed http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/132 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/132#comments Sat, 23 Aug 2008 17:52:54 +0000 Brian Schell http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/132 http://www.dailybuddhism.com/archives/132/feed 21:49 Welcome back!

This is Episode 18 of the Daily Buddhism, and Irsquo;m your host, Brian Schell. Weekly Announcements: I have just a couple of quick announcements today.nbsp; First, I am now on Twitter. I am not completely sure what itrsquo;s good for yet, but Irsquo;m in the process f playing around with it. If yoursquo;d like, you can go to http://twitter.com/DailyBuddhism And click on ldquo;Followrdquo; to follow me. Irsquo;ll do a return follow on anyone who does.nbsp; If you donrsquo;t know what Twitter is, itrsquo;s something like a huge message board or chat room with many very tiny messages. Itrsquo;s hard to describe. But from their FAQ: What is it? Twitter is a service for friends, family, and condash;workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Again, itrsquo;s just something Irsquo;m playing with. Letrsquo;s give it a try and see if we can have some fun with it. Next, an update on the donation situation: I did get a few more donations this week, and I can finally say the studio microphone I bought back around episode 7 is now paid off. For the next Daily Buddhism ldquo;investment,rdquo; I want to get a voice mail phone number so you guys can call in with your questions and I can play your comments ldquo;on the air.rdquo;nbsp; I think it would make the show more entertaining, and would allow more people to ask questions; not everyone wants to type up an email question.nbsp; If yoursquo;ve thought about sending in a donation, itrsquo;s not too late to help out.nbsp; Thanks for all your support so far, and keep up the good work. And now, on with the show!
