Good questions. I planned on being as general as possible but I admit I was think about having a one-off lesson on Pure Land Buddhism. Probably one or two on Mahayana Buddhism as well.

Suggestions are certainly encouraged.

This is a great idea! I’m looking forward to the one on making an altar. I’m wondering though, will you be taking this from a Pure Land point-of-view, or a more general one? Also, will you be covering various denominations/schools at all?

Hi Jeremias, thanks for the encouragement. I still wish I had more formal training in Buddhism though as it helps with a lot of things. I may explore ordination again in the future, but right now it’s just difficult to do between work and family. I have plenty of time.

As for the feedback, thanks a lot. The sound was weird in the first video, I am not sure what i did wrong. I think it will sound better in the next video. Stay tuned.

*gassho* What a great idea! You should focus less on whether you are qualified or not and more on just doing what you like to do; ie talk about dharma, and I guess you just did Of course you are as qualified talking about buddhism as any layman can be.

Productionwise, the volume was a bit low and it was hard to hear you at times. I guess the quality will improve with time. Good luck, I’m looking forward to the next episode.
