Gudo's replies to comments appeared
I'd like to tell everyone that by accident I found out today that roshi Nishijima actually replied to almost all comments there were at his blog. Most of you guys probably visit his blog and you know that he never replied to comments until he finished his first part about Buddhism and said Now you can ask questions. So today I found that he also replied to almost all comments there were in all his previous posts.
If you don't know this, you can go there and find replies to your own comments.
What happened to Brad's website and blog is a mystery to me but I think it will be explained soon. It is also true that we cannot replace our life with someone's articles but Buddhist teaching, when it is authentic, can inspire our real life. Anyway, just inspire, not replace.

Thanks ryunin
Not only has most of Brad's blog disappeared, but almost all of his articles as well. Did he get some kind of giant bitchslap from Gudo or what? How odd...
Or maybe he is involved in a lawsuit. Someone please solve the mystery of the disappearing blog and let us know.

I suspect that Brad is finding that blogging is interfering with his work and perhaps there's material online that he wants to use in the book. Reality continues...
Meanwhile on Mike Cross's blog:
"He is a very difficult student -- to put it more bluntly, a total prick."

I sit with them in Oxford.
I am glad that Brad has stopped blogging... for the very reasons that are stated in that article that he linked to.
I would rather wait for Brad to go through the process of writing, pondering, editing, and then releasing it when it is ready.
After Brad began blogging, I felt that there was a loss in the quality of his writing, compared to the original articles that he posted on his old website. (Back then, those articles were posted to a relatively small readership, so that he could get some feedback. I imagine that he has had enough feedback for a while.)
As much as I enjoyed reading Brad's daily blog thoughts, I felt that he became too vulnerable... and then had to spend time defending his thoughts.
In the long run, this is a good thing. It will allow him to work on his book.
