  • Transformative & Real

    His dharma talk is like a direct transmission from reality itself grounded, spacious, and radically present. His words don’t try to teach you about Zen. There’s no fluff, no over-explaining. He speaks from the ground of being, and you feel it in your body, in your breath, in the silence between sentences.

  • Absolute gem

    To me this podcast is the vanguard of contemporary American Zen Buddhism, it respects tradition but speaks from a place of lived wisdom and experience in the 21st century. Because of this podcast, for the first time in my life I’m consistently practicing and think of myself as part of a Sangha.
