Paul Gyodo Sensei talks with Practice Leader Sam Sokyo Randall about the practice of pilgrimage, the koan of karma, and the experience of not-knowing, healing, intimacy, and freedom on the spiritual path.

During the discussion, a talk that Sokyo gave with Eon Zen Center in June 2025 is mentioned. You can watch that talk here: The Practice of Pilgrimage: Meeting Our Life in Every Moment.
