Paths of Practice (PoP) is a podcast that features interviews with people sharing their experiences with Buddhism and Buddhist practice. The podcast includes conversations with folks from a wide variety of backgrounds, both those that have been on the path for a while and those just starting out as well as everyone in between. In a way, the podcast sets out to explore the "84,000 paths to enlightenment," one Buddhist at a time. PoP was created and is hosted by Vincent Moore. Vincent is a relatively new practitioner of Soto Zen and has an MA from the Institute of Buddhist Studies.

We discussed civil rights activism and growing up listening to Malcolm X in Harlem, midwifery and identifying connections between breath techniques used during labor and meditation, karma and the caste system, kinship and learning how to recognize those that are different than us as meaningful and integral to our shared sacred hoop, and the importance of remembering to trust that you have a life purpose and that you have your own path of heart.
