Overview of Zen and meditation

He mentioned many topics in this speech including Yoga as well. This took the form of a discourse to an auditorium and is a broad overview of Buddhism, meditation, and Zen but it also includes Yoga and Hinduism.

I Love Om Swami

I'd Love to have him as my teacher for zazen practice I've tried countless times to join a Buddhist temple to learn to have control of my mind through meditation such as wall gazing and began to shut myself and mind to become quiet, I'd like to do my best to become a teacher, for people who are in recovery I often preach a message of hope and understanding, but be careful what you pray for I would meditate and tell The bodidharma, or the universal form, and shortly after my wife while ,y ptsd was at the worst called police, because she said I was weak mentally through prayer, meditation, and so on, meditation taught me I do not need to always be comfortable, fear, is anger, hurt is anger! resentments end in strife and ruined lives please be my Guru I've studied differnt religions for 25 years

Funny and informative

I wish there was not as much silances. an edit asking me to pause could have done the same thing.

I dig the Swami lectures -he is unique!

Kind of disagree with the other review because I think the Swami is not being all that serious in his lectures. He laughs often and his approach is unique and interesting to me as a person who has deepened my meditation practice.

Zen
