Customer Reviews
the knowledge!
learning while listening to this podcast is as easy as breathing!
the conversations had are things everyone can relate to, as well as implement into daily life. i smile while listening.
Down to Earth. Get Real Zen
The real thing. These guys get Buddhism and definitely don't take themselves too seriously. Sooooo refreshing in a landscape full of sincere folks that seem to take themselves too seriously.. They also have a website where anyone can join the conversation. My Roshi died a few years back, and I am finding it very hard to form another attachment. Maybe this group is the next growth step in Buddhism. All the teaching with lots of commom sense.
A little laugh and a little Zen
I appreciate this Podcast. Life is so serious and it seems like it gets more so each day..sometimes it’s nice to sit back, have a brief laugh about it all, and then learn some Zen perspective along the way. Each episode has a laughing point and a lesson. These guys make my day better!
