Profound but accessible, meaningful and joyous

A beautiful and poetic peek inside a Zen temple and a meaningful way of life.

So wonderful.

After moving away from the sangha for a new job, I'm so grateful to now have a podcast now that helps me feel connected and part of a loving and supportive community. Rinzan's talks are helping me feel less lonely and more oriented towards practice and dharma. Thanks so much for making this available!! Endless gratitude.
