Jay Forrest

Jay Forrest joins us to speak about a contemporary fusion of Buddhism with Daoism from his book, Spirituality Without God: An Introduction to Bodhidaoism.

One of the many aspects of Buddhism I find fascinating is how it connects with and even complements other world views. I expect much of that is rooted in how the sasana is based in what people experience in life; it’s less about the ideology and more about the process of living in the world, at least to me.

Today’s guest, Jay Forrest, is an atheist meditation teacher with a doctorate degree in religion. He has been trained in both Zen and Vipassana meditation.

So, sit back, relax, and have a nice Midnight Oolong tea.
