In this course, Jon Turner Sensei explores the concept of Buddhist intimacy and awareness; the idea of living a porous life, open and vulnerable; the importance of oral traditions; how language and messaging carries a deeper meaning, and everyday immersion in Buddhism is the practice. References include a short bibliography and examples of contemporary music with a Buddhist message.
