David Loy, Zen Philosopher and Social Critic

A fascinating visit with David Loy in which he describes his own Zen journey that went from meditating in the beautiful and secluded valleys of Molokai in Hawaii to finishing Zen koan training with Koun Yamada Roshi in Kamakura, Japan. Intertwined with the story of David's growth as a philosopher conversant with both Buddhist and contemporary Western philosophy, and his incisive social criticisms in which he applies Buddhist insights to the ills of our modern world.
