Hardcore Zen

Brad is very insightful and connects well with modern Zen seekers. He does a great job of bringing zen to every day life. He helped me reconnect to the practice. All of his books are great and this podcast is very easy to listen to you and relevant.

I’ve listened to Brad’s talks for years in person, online & in written form. This is a great addition to his already great books. If you want real commentary with a true practitioners perspective that is as educational as it is profound this is the spot for you. No frills, no overproduced ‘spiritual’ undertones that give an air of inauthentic experience. This guy is as real and raw as it gets and everyone interested in zen can learn a thing or two from him!

Although I’ve never physically sat in with the Angel City Zen Center group I feel as though this sangha functions at my kind of speed, so to speak. Thanks for all you do Brad, & this podcast is just as equally enjoyable! 07/29/21 Edit: Thanks for updating these on the podcast platform 💯 09/18/21 Edit2: haven’t listened to pt2 yet but Hyakujo Germany talk pt1 was most excellent

I came for the 0dfx stories, stayed around because I was learning something.
