Today I am interviewing the Abbot of Dharma Rain Zen Temple, in Portland Oregon, Kakumyo Lowe Charde.

Kakumyo has been practicing Zen Buddhism for over twenty years and has been a full-time monk for that entire time.

Today's episode is special for me to share with you. Kakumyo is the first teacher with which I have ever worked. My sessions with him led me to more profound experiences in my practice. 

Rounding out this two-year season one experience with this episode feels right! Next year, I am very excited to meet you with all-new episodes for season two of The Imperfect Buddhist!

Please enjoy this interview with Kakumyo Lowe-Charde.
