Fundamentals of Zen

Fundamentals of Zen

Building on the foundation of training established through the Orientation to Zen course, you will be introduced to some of the fundamental teachings of Zen Buddhism. Online course work, training assignments, and one-on-one skype meetings with Eshu Osho will inspire and demand you to take these teachings out of the realm of the conceptual and engage them in the day to day unfolding of our lives.
