“Dear Gregory, what an amazing treat and gift of the YouTube videos. Ever since you went to Channel 4 San Diego, I have been unable to watch the programs as I have DirecTV and they do not support that channel. I was so thrilled to read this morning and learn of the Youtube site. I am currently recovering from a knee operation and nothing could have bolstered my spirits more than a dose of Aspire!”
Thank You,
Greg, San Diego

Rarely, in the West, do we hear about the depth of Zen beyond philosophy…until now. Aspire offers to you this 4-CD set entitled: The Sound Of One Hand Clapping. This very unusual series offers the listener insights into ancient Zen Stories that hold the meaning of what EMPTINESS is…and how deeply important no-thing is to our spiritual experience. In the West, most teachers avoid these teachings due to the sense that students may not be interested in Emptiness in a culture and society that worships overindulgence in gratifications.

But in this series, Gregory will help you come to the place where you may recognize the profound value of a Life lived in Silence, Emptiness and Space. These are the essence of an authentic Spiritual Life…and its practice. If you are sincere and deeply interested in the profound sense of a Spiritual Life, one that moves beyond fear and a society filled will compulsion and mania, you will find this beautiful Zen series of great importance to your Life.

“I was able to watch Aspire at it was being presented this morning, but I really HEARD it later on after I’d meditated. Your in-depth discussion of the stories brought meaning to my heart that I hadn’t had previously. This series is a very valuable offering. It is mind boggling to consider where the seeds you are planting will land, as well as, when the rocky ground will become fertile soil. Your effort has not been wasted! Love…”
Sally, San Diego

“Thank you Greg for sharing as I do not get Aspire down here and I MISS it! Blessings to you…and wonderful show, as always!”
