She is also the founder of Mountain View Zen Center in Mountain View, California, and the Zen Monastery Practice Center in Murphys, California. Cheri is on a mission to help people establish practical ways to deal with the many difficulties of being human. She does this with encouraging humor, delight, curiosity, and compassion. Ending suffering is Cheri’s primary goal, and she helps others navigate this spiritual journey by teaching them how to pay attention, expand their awareness, and step back from the judgment of themselves and others… In this episode, we go over: How to deconstruct the idea of the ego.  The ways in which the “inner voice" shows up in people’s lives.  How to identify guilt, and how to deal with it.  Why most people don’t address their problems until they have to.
