The theme for this three-week online offering is the study and practice of the Mind Only school of Buddhist thought. The Mind Only school is an important element of Zen practice and Zen history, and has also been acclaimed by modern scholars for its alignment with cognitive science, developmental psychology and even astrophysics.
This live series is an opportunity to join the classes and Dharma talks offered by Senior Dharma Teacher Furyu Schroeder and Abbot Jiryu Rutschman-Byler during the January 2026 intensive at Green Gulch Farm. Please note that this online offering does not include zazen or other aspects of the onsite intensive.
