A Crack in Everything: Leonard Cohen’s Zen Life

Submission

Leonard Cohen practiced Zen for decades, and lived as a monastic for a few years. In this talk, Koshin Chris Cain, who practiced alongside Cohen during his monastic period, uses his songs to reveal the shape of a Zen life: losing yourself, finding your way to your true home, and returning to a broken and beautiful world.
