Transcript
Well, I'm here with Joseph Goldstein, who's a very old friend and quite respected meditation teacher, and we're gonna talk about all things related to meditation and mindfulness. And Joseph and I have known each other for about 25 years, and we, he was one of my first meditation teachers and became a friend a long time ago.
We spent a lot of time studying with other teachers in. He's here recording this interview with me under less than ideal audio conditions. So we apologize for that. Joseph, for those of you who don't know, started the Inside Meditation Society in Western Massachusetts, and it's probably done more than anyone certainly as much as anyone to establish.
