Practicing the Path: Right Intention

Bear Gokan Bonebakker, Osho - ZMM - 7/24/25 - The wisdom aspects of the Eightfold Path include Right Intention, or Right Thought. What is it to take full responsibility for our lives by practicing our intentions, our thoughts? How do we access the joy and ease through the Path? We practice zazen as instructed, and we also have to study and understand the truth of cause and effect, action and result, to understand the power of Right Intention and it’s impact on our lives.
