Webcasting and Planning

We spent the day in practice then getting a treatment from Wun Hee, an acupuncturist. Ani Yeshi and I both see her, though I was adopted in. Ani had to go as a result of her syncopy.

Once that was done we made some progress on a project we've been tending for some months now. Though we know nothing about carpentry (not unlike our upcoming endeavors in the web development world) we are in the final phases of building a new throne for our temple. I'll hopefully remember the camera and get some photos of that tomorrow.

We are still in the early stages of developing the website we've taken on, planning is barely begun.

We have, however, already begun to work with technology that we plan to use for the site. Ustream (mentioned earlier) has opened up a whole new venue for the teachings we receive. Hard to believe it's been just a little more than a week since we had our first broadcast! It has already brought up policy and procedure issues though, as we're already getting inquiries about embedding our content on other websites. You think you're just going to build a media driven website (a chunky enough task by itself) and suddenly you're confronted with questions about proprietary content, how to fundraise when the goal is a free site where folks can experience the Dharma anywhere in the world.

While we chew on those questions here's a video of Khenpo Tenzin Norgye teaching on the Buddhist path from a Vajrayana perspective. It's an overview, open to all:



Feedback on the technical aspects of this is welcome!

We'll be webcasting the Sunday teaching we view at the temple (a video teaching) tomorrow at 2pm eastern time if you want to tune in! Just go to our

May every being connect with their true nature!
