From a touring rock band roadie to life in a monastery, Gentoku dives into acceptance, connecting to our deeper selves, and using every day activities as a “container for our practice”

In this episode:

• How checkboxes and filling other’s obligations takes us away from learning
• Creating awareness and space in every day life
• Waking up to find external accolades and possessions are no longer satisfying
• How do we take an experience that causes us pain and hold it lightly?
• The goal of meditation
•  How to create space for silence and contemplation amidst our busy lives
