Welcome to "Opening Dharma Access," a podcast where we hear stories from BIPOC teachers & practitioners about their Dharma experiences and practice, and how those inform the ways they are sharing & practicing the Dharma today.
Season 5 description: Hosted by Rev. Liên Shutt
As many of you know, we no longer have funding for this podcast. Thus, for now, as this is an Access to Zen podcast, we'll share insights from Rev. Liên Shutt; and then from other BIPOC teachers as it comes to us.
