    Description

    Bear Gokan Bonebakker, Senior Monastic Zen Center of New York City, 7/7/2019  In this talk, Senior Monastic Gokan explores some of the barriers along the Buddhist path and ways to work with them. He asks us to consider: What is a thought? Where does it come from, and what is it made of? When we release them, and what is it that’s left? How do we work skillfully with our minds and all that arises, both on and off the meditation cushion?

    The Mountains and Rivers Order (MRO) is a Western Zen Buddhist lineage established by the late John Daido Loori Roshi and dedicated to sharing the dharma as it has been passed down, generation to generation, since the time of Shakyamuni Buddha. Zen Mountain Monastery, the main house of the Mountains and Rivers Order, is one of the West’s most respected Zen Buddhist monasteries and training centers. Nestled in New York’s beautiful Catskill Mountains, the Monastery draws its strength from the ancient tradition of Buddhist monasticism. Since 1980, the Monastery has offered spiritual practitioners traditional and innovative ways to engage the dharma through a wide range of retreats and residential programs that unfold within the context of authentic, full-time Zen monastic training. The Zen Center of New York City: Fire Lotus Temple is the city branch of Zen Mountain Monastery. Supporting home practitioners in the metropolitan area, ZCNYC offers varied practice opportunities within the Eight Gates training matrix.
