<p>Claude AnShin Thomas - Zen Buddhist monk, combat veteran, and author - speaks on the topic “Bringing Meditation to Life” during a public talk in October 2023 in Germany.<br /> <br /> He addresses his own inherited karma and how Buddhist practice helped him to transform that karma. Today his life is based in being-of-service. "When healing occurs to self, all past generations experience healing”, states Claude AnShin Thomas. <br /> <br /> The questions at the end of the talk include such as: <br /> - How important is it to have a teacher? <br /> - How has your view of death and dying changed from the perspective of your Buddhist practice?<br /> - How does the world become better through Buddhist practice?<br /> <br /> You can find ZalthoLIVE on all major podcast channels: Apple, Google, Spotify, AmazonMusic, and Audible and also here: <br /> https://zaltho.org/en/media/podcasts-zaltholive.html</p> <p>For more information: <a href= "https://zaltho.org/">https://zaltho.org/</a><br /> If you want to ask Claude AnShin Thomas a question: <a href= "mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.<br /> For more information: <a href= "https://zaltho.org/">https://zaltho.org/</a><br /> If you want to ask Claude AnShin Thomas a question: <a href= "mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br /> <br /> Book recommendations: <br /> - Bringing Meditation to Life - 108 Teachings on the Path of Zen Practice (Oakwood Publishing 2021)<br /> - AT HELL'S GATE - A Soldier's Journey from War to Peace (Shambhala Publications 2003)<br /> - On the Edges of Sleep: Poems of War and Memory (Oakwood Publishing 2024) <br /> <a href= "https://zaltho.org/en/media/our-books.html">https://zaltho.org/en/media/our-books.html</a></p>
