Service October 2 2022...Join Us
Dr. David Am Koe Beighley, Sunim
WOW!!! This week flew by and it's time for our second Service at On The Path Yoga. We had a wonderful group of individuals that joined us for our first Service last week and look forward to the continuation of energy that flowed through our Buddhist Community!
This week we will be conducting an overview of the Five Buddhist Precepts, or Five Mindfulness Trainings as taught by the late Thich Nhat Hanh at his Plum Village Center in France. The Five Mindfulness Trainings, also known as "The Gifts of the Precepts" are the gateway to formalizing your relationship with Buddhism, and those wishing to do so can sign up for an eight-week class to be held immediately following the morning service on Sundays.
The Precepts (short version) are:
I undertake to observe the precept to abstain from killing living beings.
I undertake to observe the precept to abstain from taking things not given.
I undertake to observe the precept to abstain from misuse of the senses.
I undertake to observe the precept to abstain from false speech.
I undertake to observe the precept to abstain from activities or substances which dull the mind.
Please join us as we explore these foundational principles of Zen Buddhism.
May you be well, may you have good health, and may you be at peace.
