In this first ever episode, host Cara Liu welcomes Zen Buddhist monk Reverend Daishen Eric McCabe for an insightful discussion on spirituality's role in modern life. Daishin, a seasoned Soto Zen Buddhist priest, shares his transformation from semi-practicing Catholic to dedicated Zen teacher. The conversation covers topics such as balancing personal growth with self-acceptance, the transition from celibacy to family life, and the impact of social media and societal pressures. Listeners will also hear about trauma-sensitive mindfulness and the importance of finding personal passion and mission.
