Of all the many facets of our Practice life together, taking up the Precepts as a way of life expresses our commitment to the embodiment of the Buddha’s teaching. Especially now, during this time of the necessary cultivation of equanimity, I invite you to make a point of attending the monthly Bodhisattva Precepts Renewal ceremony during all of 2025. I specifically request that those who have received the Precepts formally from me mark your calendars now. For your convenience here are the dates – you will also find them on our Monthly Calendar on the website and listed under Upcoming Events on our homepage as each one draws near.
