Koshin Paley Ellsion Visits the DBT - Whole Hearted: Slow Down, Help Out, Wake up - July, 30 2019

A sharing from DBT Co-Founder Jeffrey Zlotnik: 

There are moments at the Dharma Bum Temple where I completely stop and just be in tremendous gratitude. 95% of my time is spent building, creating, cleaning, funding, organizing, managing, putting shoes on rack, planning and holding the Dharma Bum Temple. Then people like Koshin Paley Ellison show up and immediately I am brought to the present moment of joy as I let it all go and just sit (or stand) and listen. 

Thank you Koshin for your heart driven wisdom and sharing the Dharma with pure intention. Your direct and humorous nature is part of what makes your teachings so special to me. Your ability to be completely present with anything and everything is so refreshing. Thank you for being you and reminding us all to be us, but to keep practicing. 

Your new book “Whole Hearted: Slow Down, Help Out, Wake up” is a brilliant insight into living with love and kindness. Love you brother and thank you! 

Book can be purchased at Buddha for You or via Amazon.
