What is Zen? up close whisper and gum chewing ~ ASMR

In this video, I talk about both the esoteric and exoteric definitions of Zen, a Buddhist concept, and show you a tiny book that I have that covers many topics in the philosophy, history, and practice of Zen. This video features up close whispering, gum chewing, and a bit of page turning and tapping on the little book.
