Samuel Bercholz, founder of Shambhala Publishing and one of Jaymee's mentors, returns for his 7th appearance on the podcast. Full of Buddhist teachings, insights, and personal experiences with legendary spiritual teachers Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Ram Dass, and Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, this episode is a tender and hilarious refuge from the "known" world, and an embrace of the great mysteries of life. Sam's contributions over the last 50 years to the worldwide accessibility and integration of spirituality through Shambhala's vast published catalog is incalculable.
