About this Podcast:
What if ancient Zen wisdom could debug the stress of modern life? The Zen Engineer explores the intersection of Buddhist philosophy and everyday human experience — through the eyes of Koubun Araki, a Soto Zen vice-abbot who spent years as an automotive engineer before entering the temple. Each episode takes one Zen concept and traces it through a story you'll recognize: a moment of disconnection, a sudden loss, a decision that didn't sit right. No robes required. No prior knowledge of Buddhism needed. Just honest inquiry into what it means to live with clarity. New episodes monthly.
