Zen Commuter

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.

Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood and Right Effort are not that easy to live all at the same time. But the Buddha entertains that it will have you experiencing less suffering. Let's talk about how that can be done today.

Today I want to spend some time talking about how the fourth Noble Truth came to be.  I will give you an over view of what it is, and tomorrow we will talk about how to live it.

Today I take the premise of the third Noble truth and give it resonance for today's world.  I read a great article by Marc Chernoff that helps us see through to the other side.

Today I am hoping you will indulge me. Last night I spoke about meditation at a Mens Correctional Facility in Northern NH. I ended up being the one who was inspired.

The Noble Truths that Buddha expressed 2500 years ago are still pertinent today. Today's show talks about how we cling to relationships and how that can be a cause of suffering.  Let's talk about it.

It has been a while since we talked about the 4 Noble Truths, so I thought I would do that today. But, I thought it would be even more topical to see how they fit in the confines of today's thinking.
