A Public Opinion Poll
November 24, 2007 I began this blog a little over a year ago. The initial reason for its formation, the reduction in the time I could spend away from my mother who was not well, ceased the day she passed away. The initial goal of the blog, to help in the propagation of Pure Land Buddhism and to suggest a less self-centered way of living, has remained the same.
As an example of the principle that everything changes, I've gradually included other's writing and added more categories. I've periodically tinkered with the layout, appearance, organization. (To those who were reading the blog while I was trying different color combinations and banner images, I send a big apology. I thought I was working just on the template, but discovered the changes were appearing in the actual blog. Oops!)
When I give a lecture, I can see from the faces in the audience, how I'm doing. With a blog, it's more difficult to gauge. Comments are great for feedback, but I know people often don't like to write for a variety of reasons. That leaves me trying to guess what's working and what isn't, what I could add and what I could focus less on.
So what would help me is to hear from you. Are there topics you want to read more about? Or less about? What are your thoughts of the blog's focus, its organization, categories, appearance, or anything else? Are there any questions you wish someone would ask?
Your feedback is much appreciated.

I read your blog regularly and love your story references. You also bring new topics which make people think, such as environmentalism and euthanasia, things which did not exist in the time of Buddha. You bring the Dharma to our daily life which enriches our minds and helps us harmonize with others. Keep doing what you're doing, it's appreciated!
I've been reading your blog for over a year, my feedback is that your blog is fabulous. I've never missed every update that's been put up for the last year. The unintentional layouts change are also WONDERFUL!I thought they were okay. The dharma here are too very wide, they involve eveyrthing we encounter in our daily lives. I hope to read more from this blog.Ven. Wu Ling would you know where i can obtain about the 10 doubts on the pure land dharma door spoken by a buddhist patriarch?

I agree with Yvonne, I like hearing about practising Dharma in our contemporary and challenging times. You are most certainly skillful in means.

I read your blog daily as first activity before doing other access in the Internet. Your writings help me in my cultivation. I have tried to inform and encourage others to read your blog.

I'm glad I had what you were looking for. I don't have a copy of the sutra, but I googled "Vimalakirti Sutra" and found a translation is available online in addition to one in print.
