6 Tuesdays, August 21 - September 25, 6:30-8:30 pm. led by Sekkei Audrey Charlton and by Shosan Garth Monroe
The practice of Zen allows each of us to sit upright in the middle of our life as it actually is. When we glimpse our true relationship with all beings, this naturally leads to an ethical way of life.
What are basic Zen ethics? The Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts offer an exploration of interconnectedness and mutual ethical responsibility.
