live buddhism
A spiritual guide - yes, but not one that we wished to continue being employed by. We were considered the enemy. We were the token liberal. The politically green, vegetarian with a fondness towards Eastern religion and non-violence. It allowed him to say, “look at how open I am… I even let HIM work here.”
We are extremely excited by the recent live broadcast attempts of LamRim.com (see below). This could lead to, as Roy Harvey says. “possibilities [that] are truly infinite.” We have been thinking about radio programming and Dharma. Teachings, of course with some good meditations, are the only way out. Making the teachings available on the internet with no charge is probably a sure fire way to have prosperous rebirth. We think, however, it might be interesting to have a Buddhist call in talk show, a half-hour show of Buddhist news, or like an A&E Biography on the great lamas of past and present. Maybe not as karmicly wonderful, but I think would be very beneficial to the world-wide Buddhist community.
* SUCCESSFUL LIVE BROADCASTING TESTS — Late Thursday night (actually early March 1st), we ran some preliminary experiments to see whether or not live broadcasting would work on Lam Rim Radio. If you were listening during that time you probably heard my scratchy voice croaking out “Testing 1… 2… 3…” I’m happy to report that initial results were quite positive! There will probably be a few more tests over the next few weeks. If all goes well, we’ll start doing a few initial LIVE teaching broadcasts in the coming months, both from our studio here in Mountain View California as well as “on location” at various teachings. The possibilities here are truly infinite.
