"Sometimes we forget that intelligence has a shadow and we ignore that shadow at our peril."   What it's like to see the world from a Zen Buddhist perspective.  Author, actor and Zen priest Peter Coyote (along with his dogs Chico and Pablo) compares two contradictory but useful ways of looking at our world.  The first represents all things as separate and independent and the second represents all things as being interconnected.  Meditation practice can help us account for this contradiction and reduce suffering.  Youtube link to copy and save to your YoutubeVR playlist: https://youtu.be/FlKbyJtzAB0

"In the big picture, there's no you and me... we're both numerators on a fraction the denominator of which is emptiness." Putting teaching into practice, author, actor and Zen priest Peter Coyote (along with his dogs Chico and Pablo) shares his experience learning about the contradictory world while he ran the California Arts Council under Governor Jerry Brown, and how true success comes from aligning with the full community you wish to serve and from discovering what everyone truly needs. Youtube link to copy and save to your YoutubeVR playlist: https://youtu.be/Cm_asbtr8gQ
