John has been involved in zen practice for about six years, but has been a student of philosophy for many years prior to that. He is currently living in Northern Ireland, and tells us about how he came to Buddhism, what it’s like for practitioners in his area, and provides some insight to challenges many of us face in finding a group to meditate with.
