Schedule: Thursdays / 7:30 – 9:30
pm
At the heart of the Buddhist Path
is the practice of precepts: To Avoid
Taking Life; To Avoid Taking What is Not Given; To Avoid Sexual
Misconduct; To Avoid Lying; and To Avoid Consuming Intoxicants.
Kusala
Bhikshu will explore the five Buddhist precepts and how they
relate to... Good and Evil... War and Peace... Suicide and Euthanasia...
Abortion and Contraception... Sexual Equality... and share his
understanding of basic Buddhist principles in a simple, non-technical
way through stories, humor and personal insights. Kusala will
also address the everyday challenge of taking precept practice
into the world.
"When a Buddhist realizes
Enlightenment... The “Great Compassion” cannot but
arise in his or her heart. He is no longer able to view the world
in the same way he did before his Enlightenment. He can now see,
feel, know, and understand... If one person is sick, hungry,
homeless, or dying in the world... There is a part of him that
is sick, hungry, homeless, or dying. He no longer feels separate
and safe. He views the world as a sea of suffering and is directly
connected to each and every suffering being, in the same way
the ocean connects to each and every wave." - Kusala Bhikshu
