Live your practice every day.

This audio series is a summary framework of the perspectives and practices that, despite having been on the spiritual path for many years, really made it all click for me. While it can easily be listened to in a day or two, I strongly encourage you to space it out to give each “chunk” a reasonable amount of time to sink in.

Introduction

Day 1 – What is Zen and Why Bother?

Day 2 – The Zen Attitude

Day 3 – The Core of Zen

Day 4 – Building a Zen Foundation

Day 5 – Intellectual Framework I

Day 6 – Intellectual Framework II

Day 7 – Hysterical Historical

Day 8 – Pick Up the Phone

Day 9 – Emotional Koan Practice

Day 10 – Remember & Choose


A few notes about some anachronisms and questions that may arise in this series.

  1. This was originally created for InsightTimer in 2018. It was never published on that platform and this remains the only place to find this content.
  2. Hollow Bones Zen no longer refers to itself as Hollow Bones Rinzai Zen.
  3. My formal Zen practice is with Hollow Bones Zen, where I serve multiple roles. If you are interested in learning more, please visit hollowboneszen.org.
  4. YourTurn Meditative Living and Hollow Bones Zen do not have any formal relationship and participation in YourTurn does not require a personal interest in Zen – Zen is simply one of the many tools/frameworks available to us in exploring our human potential.

Thank you and enjoy!
