“Rev. Rinsen is a truly authentic teacher. He has a way of blending the old poetic and often cryptic teachings with a contemporary and fresh delivery. If you're looking for the heart of Zen, here it is!”

“It is almost unbelievable how each and every podcast is filled with such vibrant insight. Jay Rinsen Chikyo Weik speaks honestly about the life of zen, and is such an inspiration that I'd like him to know how much he resonates with me here in NYC. Thank you Jay.”

“I can't say enough good things about this podcast. Jay breaks things down in a very clear, understandable, an often funny way. At least, as clear as Zen can be.”

“My interest in Zen Buddhism started a couple of years ago when I began meditation as a practice to help with bi-polar disorder. The profound effect that had on me inspired me to look further. I happened upon The Drinking Gourd podcasts only a few months ago, but I feel as though I have struck a...”Read full review »

“This excellent podcast is an easy way to bring the Dharma into your daily practice. Very accessible and thought provoking. I have come to look forward to my long drives to work as a special time to contemplate the teachings offered by Rinsen and Do'an and the members of this Sangha.”

“Jay has an amazing ability to break concepts/ideas/intellectual constructs down to the basics, giving everyday application to something I could very easily just use to occupy space in my head. This podcast doesn't just lay out the sutras or break down the noble truths - it does so in a way that...”Read full review »

“These are probably the most accessible Zen dharma talks I have encountered. Weik's ability to simplify with easily understood similes and examples lead to understanding of teachings and ideas that often have seemed dense and complex. I'm always struck at how down to earth yet profound Weik is...”Read full review »

“I am one of the lucky people who have the opportunity to travel to Toledo and hear Rinsen speak. When I can't be there, The Drinking Gourd Podcasts are a cherished opportunity to encounter these wonderful teachings. For those who practice without regular access toa sangha, Rinsens Podcasts are...”Read full review »

“I've been listening to these quality podcasts for about a month now, and I feel that hearing the dahrma talks helps me stay closer to the practice. Im a student so I am running from place to place all day, so its nice because I can listen to the ancient wisdom of Zen and the teaching of...”Read full review »

“These talks distributed freely are a very special gift and please consider this review to be just an open thank you note. As a newcomer to Zen, I am starting to discover that Zen needs practice more than anything else. However, I am also discovering, that without guidance my practice tends to...”Read full review »

“This is a beautifully produced, nicely paced program of Zen practice that provides an opportunity for people not fortunate to have a zendo nearby to benefit from a funny, thoughtful, disciplined teacher. I've listened to these lessons repeatedly, and each time something new will resonate with...”Read full review »
