This channel is dedicated to Zen, meditation, and life. My vision is to create teaching content that is simple, clear, and accessible for anyone interested in Zen practice. I offer support for anyone interested in Zen, no matter where they live or their economic circumstance. Jason Quinn JDPSN, author of the book, No-Nonsense Zen for Beginners, began practicing Zen in 1997. He trained as a monk for nine years, during which he sat many long summer and winter Kyol Che retreats, and participated in retreats around the world. Since 2001, Jason has worked with hundreds of people, helping them to strengthen their Zen practice and create a path for a more clear and compassionate life. Jason received inka (authorized to lead retreats and give koan interviews) in 2015 and is a teacher and Vice Abbot at the Empty Gate Zen Center in Berkeley, CA. He is also a teacher for Kwan Um School of Zen Online Sangha. He now lives in Santa Clara, CA with his wife, son, and daughter.
