Shin and Zen Practice, part one

Hey! Check out that new theme song! We finally get around to doing some recording and answering some listener questions, this one about the possibility of combining Shin and Zen Buddhist practice. We dance around the issue for a while, meandering through the minutia of particular ritual styles, before getting to some of the historical and institutional justifications used for why Shin Buddhists should only do this practice and not this other thing. Stay tuned for more episodes on this topic. We’re not done yet!
