The Secret Ingredient

Danica Shoan Ankele, Osho – ZMM – 9/25/25 – Being receptive to our minds and trusting in the path are essential ingredients for a zazen practice that is vibrant and alive. In a way, this is what distinguishes rote practice from real practice — receptivity, devotion, and wakefulness. Are we asking ourselves, “What is it?” Or are we filling in the blanks with our delusive inability to stay with not-knowing? Truly engaging in the practice — not merely thinking about it — is the living edge we all encounter, and it is this edge that Shoan Osho explores in this sesshin talk.
