Daily Scoldings

I'm not sure if it's cool for me to mention this yet, but I'm excited for this book to come out in September. If you remember the "old" BuddhaJones humor site, you probably remember "Daily Scoldings." I saw an early draft of the book. It has a lot of funny fractured dharma stories that you will probably recognize if you've spent any time studying Buddhism. The promo trailer is silly and cracks me up. You can see it here.

Can't wait to steal from it for Joe Isuzu's Daily Slander.

Thanks
Thanks for the shout out, brooke. I was going to wait until the end of August to do my shameless self-promotion.

The book won't be available until September. But you can preorder it on amazon, b&n, borders, indiebound, powell's, etc.

The book's website is www.DailyScoldings.com.

I wouldn't call it a Buddhist book, but the Nichiren influence is clear, I think. And there are some Buddhist parables from the Vimilakirti and Lotus Sutras that are retold in an amusing way (well, amusing in my opinion.)

Thanks again.


Can't wait
Looking forward to seeing the product of your labors, dd. I know you hate self-promotion stuff. I will post a good and proper announcement bragging and singing the book's praises when the time comes. In the meantime, congrats. Get busy writing the sequel.
