I had the pleasure of speaking with Allan Badiner, editor of Zig Zag Zen: Buddhism and Psychedelics, at the World Ayahuasca Conference 2019.
In this video Allan speaks about:
- how psychedelics influence meditation practice
- how his background in Buddhism influenced his psychedelics experiences
- psychedelics and meditation, is one more valuable?
- can meditation minimize the chances of a bad trip
- his LSD burning man story, and tripsitting for the Zendo project
- psychedelic experiences and ethical frameworks
- meditation as a tool for integration of psychedelic experiences
Zig Zag Zen is a collection of essays, interviews, articles examining the two realms, their similarities and their differences.
