Simplicity Zen Podcast Episode 18 - An Interview with Brad Warner (The Zen Lamp Series)

 Brad Warner was born in Ohio in 1964. In 1983 he met Zen
teacher Tim McCarthy and began his study of Zen while he was
still the bass player of the hardcore punk band Zero Defex, whose
big hit was the eighteen-second masterpiece "Drop the A-Bomb on
Me!" In the 1980s he released five albums of psychedelic rock
under the band name Dimentia 13 (that's the way he spelled it),
though Dimentia 13 was often a one-man band with Brad playing all
the instruments. In 1993 he moved to Japan, where he landed a job
with Tsuburaya Productions, the company founded by Eiji
Tsuburaya, the man who created Godzilla. The following year Brad
met Gudo Nishijima Roshi, who ordained him as a Zen monk and made
him his dharma heir in 2000. He has written several books and
just released a new one titled "The Other Side of Nothing: The
Zen Ethics of Time, Space, and Being ".
