Zen and the Art of Decolonization w/ Peter Coyote ( Part 2)
Added 2021-10-22 10:00:05 +0000 UTCIn the second part of our first episode of Armed Love, Peter Coyote discusses his interest in Zen, how it came to be so influential to the beatniks and hippies, and his background with indigenous solidarity, particularly the campaign to free Leonard Peltier.
Coyote recommends Peter Matthiessen's In the Spirit of Crazy Horse regarding Peltier, and The New Buddhism by David Brazier and How the Swans came to the Lake by Rick Fields about Zen Buddhism.
Opening song: Pink Fairies - Do it
Closing song - John Trudell - Look at Us / Peltier / Aim Song

I just made the connection that it was Peter Coyote reading Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind helped me through the the most worst time. To me, something about his cadence and timbre communicated the feeling of meditation.
