Ep. 7 - Al Zolynas

Recorded on April 16th, my guest today is Al Zolynas. Al began Zen training at the Zen Center of Los Angeles in 1979, became a student of Charlotte Joko Beck and worked with her closely in Los Angeles and later in San Diego until she left in 2006.

Al is recognized as a Zen teacher by the White Plum Asanga and the Ordinary Mind Zen School.

We talked about his experience studying with Zen Master Joko Beck and some of the life changing practices she left with us.  And what it was like to learn from a true Zen Master.  And of course we talked about one of my favorite topics – preparation for death from a Zen Perspective and a Tibetan Buddhist perspective.

Al can be reached thru his website freewayzen.org.  I hope you enjoy listening.
