A long time practicing Buddhist friend turned me on to Dave’s teaching. I think he is most excellent & has been very influential in helping me find a path in my own work. Perhaps most of all I love how there’s no pretense with Dave’s delivery. He is sharing his direct experience, his foibles, & his struggles in a way that really opens the door for the rest of us. That is huge. Hope to do an in-person retreat with him one of these days. Rock on.
Dharma teachings, hold the yoga pants.

Why are we listening to the lisp lord slurp Mountain Dew into his mic, while he gurgles platitudes shallow enough to be on a hallmark card?
Clear, relatable, down to earth Dharma!

Dave has a way of distilling concepts that makes them relatable and applicable to everyday life. It’s been super helpful for me to listen and practice to his guidance and instruction. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for Dharma talks or guided meditations based on the original Buddhist texts.
