You paint, with a calligraphy brush, the text of a sutra. To Jason Van Orden's comment about people being willing to buy stuff that's already out there, I can't reiterate enough that the process is in some ways more important than the end result. Absolutely, buy Jason's book and read it, because it's a worthy read, but understand too that forging your own path WILL get you to a point of unique content, which will have greater value. Sutra copying might seem arcane these days. Why not just scan it in or take a digital photo? Because the process itself is more important than the end result. The process is what confers "merit" or "virtue". The final product isn't the sutra, but the transformation of your own mind. Likewise, in podcasting, the end product of learning on your own vs. buying or acquiring the knowledge isn't a better show (though that will be a nice side effect) but an in depth understanding of what you're doing.
