Description
We all desire happiness - what is good, pleasant right, permanent, joyful, satisfying, and easy.
But life often brings frustration, dissatisfaction, incompleteness, and sorrow.
This podcast channel offers talks and question-response-sessions from Zen Buddhist Monk, Vietnam Veteran, Author, and Peace Activist Claude AnShin Thomas.
This is for everyone who yearns for understanding and for embodying the difference we want to see in the world. Let's embark together on a path of ending all wars and truly living peace. https://www.zaltho.org, info@zaltho.org
