Precepts Study Series

This class series is open to all, and required for those in the process of

sewing Buddha’s robe in preparation for Jukai.

Classes will be held from 7:10am to 8:00am on March 3, March 31, April 28, June 2.

The Ten Essential precepts can serve as a guide for upright living. In this class series we will study the precepts and their manifestation in the activities of everyday life. The conceptual framework will relate the precepts to the Four Noble Truths and the discussion will center on both the meanings of the words and the subtle interpretations each student may bring. We will read excerpts of writings by Reb Anderson and Dainin Katagiri as well as other primary source documents. This class is open to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of what it takes to live consistently with the Bodhisattva vow.

It is also recommended, though not required, that you attend Full Moon Precepts Renewal ceremony April 1 or May 1 in place of evening zazen.
