Customer Reviews
Best (za)zen podcast out there!
I’ve been listening to this podcast from the very beginning and still look forward to every new episode! Kirk and Jundo are two very smart and intellectual guys that provide truely interesting and high quality discussions about the practice of zazen and buddhism in a wider sense. I really appreciate the humorous and lighthearted way they touch upon even the most difficult and philosophical subjects which makes one understand the essence much better! They are a fantastic couple that has great chemistry together and compliment eachother in a perfect way! Thank you very much, Kirk and Jundo, for all the wonderful insights you have provided (for free!!) over the past years. I truely hope this podcast will continue for a long long time!
