This first episode will feature a self-inflicted interview from the host, Pema Dechen, about the purpose and goal of this podcast. Beginning with a brief introduction to his background in life and in Buddhism, Pema gives the reason for starting a podcast, whether he feels the need to contribute to the ever-piling heap of information about Buddhism, and concludes with a Mission Statement about his desire to promote and preserve the Dharma  for the benefit of all sentient beings.
