about

This is one of the talks given by Zen Master Seung Sahn at Berkeley's Empty Gate Zen Center in the early to mid 1980s. The audio cassettes of these talks, some of which were in very poor condition, were digitized using state of the art noise reduction and audio processing techniques in 2010, and are now available publicly for the first time.
