Rev. Danny Fisher

Welcome to the new and hopefully improved website! In addition to the “new look,” the format of this blog will be changing significantly. Each day of the work week On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we will feature a post doing one of five three things.

Monday is the day that I will present a Dharma talk – a discourse on an aspect of the Buddhist teachings. I think this will usually take the form of a video, but I’m leaving this open to other possibilities as well (such as text and audio recording). Each Dharma talk will also include a bibliography of the materials I used in its composition (see below for today’s). Materials will be organized in the bibliography in the order that they are mentioned in the talk.

My very first Dharma talk is embedded below, or you can watch it at my YouTube channel. I hope it’s beneficial.

If there’s something you’d like me to address in the future, please leave me a comment. And stay tuned to find out about the other new ventures at this site!
