In this episode, I speak with Ven. Trueman Taylor, a Zen priest, who shares his journey from personal crisis to lifelong commitment to Zen practice. We also break down what Zen really is, how meditation works, the benefits, and how it can help navigate change, suffering, and finding meaning... and seeing the world as it really is, not how we want it to be.
