This bonus episode is a follow up to Death Dhamma Podcast Ep. 33: Ken Yamarashi – Cause and Effect Is Operating in Your Life ([ Ссылка ])
Please be advised, in this episode Margaret and Ken discuss a story that involves an individual being arrested, and how a family member was attacked while this person was in jail. Please be aware and proceed in a way that best supports your emotional and mental health. Thank you.
Toward the start of their discussion, Ken says: “I like to say that I'm at home in anyone's church however I think that there are great lessons to be learned from the teachings of Buddhism."
What a nice way to respect the traditions of others while acknowledging what best supports him on his path.
Coming from a background of trauma, divorce and difficult experiences from serving in the military and as a police officer, Ken reconciles martial arts with Buddhist philosophy. In fact, he offers help to others through his work at Everyday Samurai. He has his own traumas that he reflects on. And he thinks deeply about how his karma has intersected with others.
It is important for all of us to find a way to process trauma, and Ken has found his path in the teachings of Shinzen Young. Specifically, a framework called Unified Mindfulness.
