Episode Synopsis

Reflections on my teacher, Barry Magid’s teachings. The importance of enjoying practice and adapting practice forms to the limitations of the aging body. Experiencing emotional pain is more important than trying to push through physical pain. The koan “Fireboy seeking fire” is a nice summation of one aspect of Barry’s teaching – dharma is just this – peace and joy OR anxiety and anger!
