One of the foundations of our practice is looking at our minds through the lens of the Bodhisattva Precepts and this evening we will have an open discussion about the Precepts and other aspects of practice.
Work is a long standing element of practice in the Zen tradition and represents a concrete way to put practice into action in our everyday life. Working Meditation days at the Priory are a way to concentrate on and develop this aspect of practice and they are a way to give expression to generosity by helping take care of the practical elements of the life of the temple.
