An online intensive retreat titled 'Online Ango Intensive: Buddha Nature – Revealing the Jewel Within', combining meditation, liturgy, study and discussion. It is led by Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi, Head of the Mountains and Rivers Order and Abbot of Zen Mountain Monastery. Participants study two texts on buddha nature: the beginning of Master Dogen's Buddha Nature fascicle from the Shobogenzo and the first chapter of the 4th-century Indian Uttaratantra, exploring the Mahayana teaching that all beings possess the enlightened mind. Copies of both texts are sent to participants to study before the retreat.
