Everybody’s Doin’ It

We’ve had quite a few guests on the show that when asked “What is the one thing a guy can do TODAY to start positively changing his life?” the answer is invariably “meditate.” , , , ,  and the  are all on board.

Even the ultimate badass, Darth Vader was a meditator. (Which also proves that you can meditate and still be kind of a dick, but that’s for another post altogether…)

I’m not a meditation expert nor am I a meditation teacher. In fact, my practice is a bit shotty. However, I have been going at it for almost ten years, and my cushion dutifully waits just a few feet from my office chair everyday. It reminds me that, yes, this is the single best practice a person can do. Now take your seat!

Why Meditate?

It’s pretty simple. Most everything we want in life — more love, freedom, success or chocolate requires that we have clarity. Specifically clarity about what we want. Meditation provides tons of benefits, but for this context let’s just say it strengthens our integrity and the ability… Click here to read the rest...

What about someone violating your daughter?

Jun Po Denis Kelly insists that there is no place for anger, no matter what happens.

Seriously?

The path of the modern-day warrior looks for what is true beneath our reactivity. In the case of anger, there is always something deeper.

What does all this have to do with a chicken?

Listen as Jun Po tells the story about the chicken and one simple step we can take today, to change the rest of our lives.

About Jun Po Denis Kelly, Roshi

Jun Po Denis Kelly began his Buddhist practice at Zen Center San Francisco in the early ’70s, later becoming a student of Eido Shimano Roshi in New York and subsequently a monk. He received his Zen Master recognition in 1992. Interested in bringing his Zen lineage (Rinzai tradition) into American culture without the Japanese cultural bindings, Jun Po left the monastery and founded the lay Buddhist Hollow Bones order, of which he is abbot. A yoga instructor as well, he traces his lineage to BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. He established the Hollow Bones seven-day Zen retreats for the… Click here to read the rest...

According to Jun Po Dennis Kelly, that is the only way to go in order to find true freedom with true integrity.

Jun Po has spent his life committed to the truth, the deepest truth, and has the scars to prove it.

In his psychedelic experimentation, he took extremely high doses of LSD, much more intense than your average day-tripper.  Living on the fringes of the law landed him a “government sponsored vacation,” in federal penitentiary.  Yoga and Zen mastery helped him to focus his passion constructively.

Recently, Stage 4 throat cancer took his body to the very edge of survival and back. Jun Po’s life on the edge has given him a serious gift for sharing the truth.

Are you stuck because you don’t have any other choice?

Have you tried everything you can and you just can’t change it?

Bullshit.

Thats what Kute Blackson is telling us. Bullshit.

When we find ourselves in that miserable, stuck place, we are invariably wasting energy avoiding our truth and keeping ourselves muted because we are afraid to face the unknown.

“If you are feeling pain and dissatisfaction, that’s your doorway, go through it and find who you really are,” Kute insists.

It may be necessary to experience the death of “self” to live your best life.

What do you need to give to the world so that you can die complete?

Listen as Kute a Tripp take us into the darkness, searching for that light of freedom on the other side.
