Dave Cuomo - History of Zen pt 2

Dave continues his series tracing the philosophical and social history of Zen. In part 2 we come to Buddha himself, what was the social context he was teaching in, who were his teachers and what did they teach him? What was the problem he was trying to solve and how did he solve it?? The sangha discusses our connection to history and whether history is even knowable, what if anything, Buddha was doing differently, and of course, what is the meaning of life?
