Entering the Wilderness

Bear Gokan Bonebakker, Osho
Zen Mountain Monastery, Mt Tremper, New York, Thursday 03/26/2026
A very human practice is to go into unfamiliar places, maybe on a pilgrimage or a journey of some sort into the unknown. What might be the benefit of this type of practice, why did it come to exist? Gokan Osho explores the Buddha’s teachings on facing one’s own mind, free of attachments. When we relax, and get very close to our direct experience, there is the possibility of transformations which can’t be prepared for.
