Buddhist View 125: Refuge
A class for those eager to roll up their sleeves and get to work. The precepts articulate Buddhist ethics, and we vow to keep them as a source of guidance. But they are also a source of great joy. Taught by Chia Wood, this class introduces the precepts with an emphasis on using them in your own life, in your own way.
Class materials: The Mind of Clover by Robert Aitken. Bring pencil and paper to class.
With a background in Zen, and input from other schools, Chia Wood has spent 30 years practicing Buddhism. She found inner peace by resolving inner conflict, and discovered that ethical living is more fun than Disney Land. Her goal is to help others do the same.
