From the Urban Dharma Mail Bag:


09/16/2019 / Suffering is optional / This podcast is like a cup of hot chocolate and a warm blanket made just for Buddhists. I love it. - Xuochi

08/11/2019 / 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
