Educational and Entertaining, this podcast has become my constant companion while driving, or lying down to sleep. The teachers not only focus on the sensational aspects of Zen, but also on those portions which are necessary and oftentimes difficult to hear. The teachers are compassionate, knowledgeable, and have a true love that is audibly communicated to their listeners. It is my hope that people who have an interest in Zen and mindfulness will discover this wonderful podcast.
