Teachings
The Living Zen Podcast curates dharma talks given over the years — at sesshin, at weekly sittings, and in evenings online with the communities Roshi David teaches for. Zen practice, awakening, and how any of it meets the life you are actually living. There is nothing to join and nothing to pay.
