There's only one road to Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. Even in remote settings, how can we practice compassionate confrontation around issues of justice, no matter where we are? Can monastic communities be a place to practice prefigurative interventions, where we imagine and try out the kinds of worlds we want to live in?

Life for an activist would be boring indeed if all we ever did was shout, protest, fume, and fulminate. At BPF we embrace anger, yes, but also agency. The power to build and cultivate the things we want to see in the world.
