Show Notes

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with Daiko, the head priest of Rinzai Zen Temple "Daishu in West." We talk about how Daiko starts and follows the Zen path and what it means to be a leader of a small Zen Temple in California.

Have you ever wondered how a regular day looks like in a Zen Temple? What does it actually mean to practice Zen 24/7? What are some core questions and discoveries on this path? What is Freedom?
