Shozan Jack Haubner: Zen Life, Leonard Cohen, and Scandalous Lessons

What is the proper relationship between a student and a teacher? They're questions that are not going away, and one of the reasons I wrote that chapter of the book and that part of the book was to talk about it.
What happens when you mix the serene world of Zen Buddhism with the vibrant life of Leonard Cohen? Shozan Jack Haubner's journey offers a unique blend of wisdom, humor, and raw honesty. Growing up in a Catholic home, studying philosophy, and even trying his hand at stand-up comedy, Shozan's path has been anything but ordinary.
In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Shozan to discuss his life as a Zen monk, including his time living alongside Leonard Cohen. They dive into the complexities of teacher-student relationships within the Zen community, shedding light on some dark corners involving sexual misconduct and trauma. Shozan doesn't shy away from sharing his personal experiences and the lessons he's learned.
He also recounts a transformative shamanic ceremony in the jungle, offering insights into finding one's own path in spirituality. This episode is a candid exploration of spiritual growth, filled with moments that will make you laugh and think deeply. If you're curious about how Zen principles can apply to real-life challenges, this conversation is not to be missed.
