The Zen Thing April 16, 2021
Koshin Paley Ellison is one of a small but growing number of chaplains in the United States who are Buddhists. In fact, Koshin is a Zen Buddhist monk. He works in hospice, and his goal is to take "the Zen thing" out into the world...and change the very nature of caregiving itself. Produced by Will Coley and KalaLea. Music by LD Brown.
