I first met Ben many moons ago when he came to talk at our Zen Center in Culver City, LA, shortly after publishing his first book "Inside the Grass Hut." I was intrigued by his story and his understanding of a very unique lineage in Zen called Yogacara.

Here is a small sampling of what you can expect to hear:

• The Path to Recovery: Struggles with addiction and how Zen Buddhism provide a new path to healing
• The Psychological Benefits of Zen: Mindfulness, stress reduction, and emotional regulation.
• The Illusion of Control: The importance of accepting uncertainty and impermanence
