Meet Doug Kraft and get practical advice on using Buddhist practice to end suffering. This conversation is filled with clear, simple pointers and tools you can apply today. You do not need to be a Buddhist to practice meditation and relaxation into awareness. You can start now and explore what happens if you apply the method of the Six R's and other tools that Doug is generously sharing.  

Doug Kraft is a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, Unitarian Universalist minister, and author of Circling Home, Buddha's Map, Meditator’s Field Guide, Befriending the Mind, and Presence, to name a few.
