0:07.0	The Welcome to Buddha at the Gas Pump.
0:27.3	My name is Rick Archer.
0:28.4	Buddha at the Gas Pump is an ongoing series of interviews with spiritually awakening people.
0:34.7	I've done hundreds of them now, and if this is new to you and you'd like to
0:38.1	check out previous ones, please go to the past interviews menu on batgap.com, where you'll see
0:45.3	all the previous ones archived in various ways. This program is made possible by the support of
0:50.6	appreciative listeners and viewers. And so if you appreciate it and feel like supporting
0:55.2	it in any amount, that makes it possible for us to do this full time, which is pretty much what it is.

1:52.1	And I've also interviewed Koshi before about five years ago, and I just listened to that
1:57.5	interview this week.
1:58.6	And I thought it was a pretty good conversation.
2:01.4	So if people enjoyed this one and haven't heard that one, they might want to listen to it.
2:05.9	Might even want to listen to it first.
2:09.2	And in that interview, we go a lot more into Koshy's whole biographical background and all stuff she's been through and all which we're not going to,
