Yes, your conversation with Dr. Paula Arai was —as you say— "illuminating and engaging", and the wisdom I gleaned from it was like Dharma Rain: I learned so much!

Another "home run" … right outta the park. Thank you. So glad that I subscribe to this podcast.

Bows.

Wonderful interview and so helpful and clarifying to me, personally, as I listened to Dr. Arai. Her comments about recognizing when her worldview was not God/Jesus based, but more aligned with interconnectedness and Buddhist-based, were enlightening. I grew up sort of culturally Christian but after 15 or so years in American Zen my worldview fits it much more than the view of a lifetime churchgoer.

Hi Marla, so glad that you enjoyed listening to Dr. Arai's wonderful wisdom. She's truly a gift and I learned so much from her words and spirit. Glad you found a spiritual home in American Zen. Bowing from the monastery.
