If the wolves are a metaphor for the inner life, then what I've tried to do in my practice: get out of the way and let the inner world and the outer world meet completely. And from that meeting a new moment arises.
What happens when a stand-up comedian turns into a Zen monk? Shozan Jack Haubner's life is a whirlwind of transformation and wisdom. Raised in a Catholic home, Haubner's journey has taken him from the world of philosophy and screenwriting to the serene yet challenging path of Zen Buddhism.

Haubner explains the Buddhist concept of 'no-self' in a way that finally clicks, making it accessible and relatable.

His candid discussion includes his personal battles with opium and a life-threatening illness, offering a raw and honest look at his quest for enlightenment.
Listeners will find themselves laughing one moment and deeply contemplating life's big questions the next. Haubner's unique ability to balance humor and profundity makes this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in spirituality, personal growth, or simply hearing an incredible life story. Whether you're on a journey of self-discovery or just looking for some thought-provoking entertainment, this episode promises to deliver both.
