I am so excited to share with you a great story that elucidates Shin Buddhist awakening as told through a parable of a drowning sailor.  It sounds like it would be gloomy; but it isn't by a long shot.  Come listen.

I have talked about how to get ready for meditating on several occasions, but I haven't spoken about what to do after your meditation ends. Today, I talk about that very thing.Sponsors:

Mark Coleman has been teaching meditation for over 20 years, and for him, the best place to do it is out in nature. In our interview today, we’ll talk about the benefits of meditating outside, as well as hear about his latest book. Come listen to a fantastic interview with a very kind man.

Today, in preparation of my interview with Mark Coleman, I read a chapter of his book, From Suffering to Peace: The True Promise of Mindfulness

The greatest gift meditation holds is its ability to show us what is real, what is truly important.  Today I talk about how it makes our individual vision crystal clear.
