The Thief in the Empty Room

From Addiction to Enlightenment: A Zen Teacher and Author's Journey


Listen Later

I first met Ben many moons ago when he came to talk at our Zen Center in Culver City, LA, shortly after publishing his first book "Inside the Grass Hut." I was intrigued by his story and his understanding of a very unique lineage in Zen called Yogacara.

Here is a small sampling of what you can expect to hear:

  • The Path to Recovery: Struggles with addiction and how Zen Buddhism provide a new path to healing
  • The Psychological Benefits of Zen: Mindfulness, stress reduction, and emotional regulation.
  • The Illusion of Control: The importance of accepting uncertainty and impermanence
