Hahn is awesome. I read his book "Living Buddha, Living Christ: Jesus and Buddha as Brothers" and I have sat through an online guided meditation by him. He is a great writer and a sage beyond words. I like the way that he teaches, too. He teaches simply but in a very profound way. I plan to read some more books by him. Ben.
