The Life and Times of Peter Coyote 2: Buddhism in Babylon


Listen Later

*From heroin to Hollywood, 
Here is the second part of our conversation with the writer, countercultural activist, Zen priest and erstwhile movie star PETER COYOTE at his farm in Sebastopol California. 
 
*Last time, we left him isolated and lost in the throes of drug addiction as the countercultural dream had started to turn sour. Now we pick up the story in the American communes of the early 70s, hear how he transitioned to become a successful actor appearing in over 160 films, and dig deep into counterculture, creativity, charisma, drugs, buddhism, how he navigated Hollywood Babylon.
 
*And Peter gives some amazing advice for actors, artists  - and for all of us
 
With thanks to Jenny Spires.
