In this episode we explore the intersection of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Chan Buddhism with Raul Moncoya, author and Buddhist priest. Together, we discuss how concepts like Lacan’s “real” and Buddhist “emptiness” illuminate human suffering, identity, and transformation. Raul shares his journey through psychoanalysis and Zen, tracing influences from Buenos Aires to Paris and Berkeley, where he has practiced and taught for over 40 years. Key topics include jouissance, the law, and how these traditions address contemporary challenges like addiction, media saturation, and spiritual practice.
