    Ep. 638 – Zen Mind Jewish Mind with Rabbi Rami Shapiro
    Mar 20 2026

    In this rich conversation bridging Zen and Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Rami Shapiro and Raghu Markus navigate nonduality, the shadow, and the living experience of the divine.

    Grab a copy of Rabbi Rami’s newest book, Zen Mind Jewish Mind, HERE

    This time on Mindrolling, Raghu and Rabbi Rami discuss:

    • Veering off from traditional Judaism and into Jewish mysticism
    • Nondual awareness as the realm of divine consciousness
    • Going beyond the dead word and into the living word
    • Inspiration from Shunryu Suzuki Roshi’s classic Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind and Thich Nhat Hanh’s series on How to Live
    • Koan: the Zen practice of exhausting the logical mind to provoke direct, intuitive insight into reality and one's own nature
    • Recognizing our own shadow rather than pretending it does not exist
    • Holding multiple truths at once: there is no other, we are all part of a whole, and we do have differences
    • How the Kabbalah expresses the name of God in an embodied way
    • Seeing the divine in all humans and everything in front of us
    • Special moments with Ram Dass, accepting silence and accepting the moment for what it is

    "The Jewish meditation practices, the spirituality within Judaism, never or at least rarely gets beyond or slips into the nondual to the extent that you drop the labels, that you drop the tribal. You get Saint Paul saying there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, in Christ. To me, that's Christ consciousness, that's Buddha mind. When you reach that level of consciousness, all the labels fall away, your sense of separate self is gone.” –Rabbi Rami Shapiro

Markus reminds me of the type of person who loves their job and so never works a day in his life. His introductions before every, Be Here Now” episode was great, but his Mindrolling episodes are excellent. The information he shares and the guests he has on the show are great, but what you’ll really love is how warm and loved you’ll feel while listening. It’s like we’re all there together while his episodes run and that takes a pretty large heart. Thank you, Markus.

Absolutely Love Raghu’s Heartfelt Passion
