Precepts Class
Taking refuge in Buddha's teaching, personally or publicly, is the way one becomes a Buddhist. Our sangha offers classes that include dharma lecture, discussion, and weekly practice for anyone inquiring into becoming a Buddhist. These classes are keyed to sections of the mala we use during our Daily Recitation. They are designed to deepen our inquiry into the Buddha's list of priorities for enlightenment:
- The Four Noble Truths, including The Three Characteristics
of Existence
- Dependent Origination and Karma
- The Eight-Fold Path, leading to meditation
- Following the Precepts
This ongoing series rotates through 8 consecutive sessions, one of which is held every Sunday following the short Morning Service at Sangha House, 12 Von Ruck Court. A full 8-session cycle completes "Buddhism 101."
Taught by Nancy Spence, Dharma Teacher and the sangha's Lay Ministers. Be sure to bring a notebook and pen/pencil.
No one taking this class is obligated to take the Buddhist Precepts, and taking the Precepts does not obligate one to any teacher or Sangha. However, for anyone who attends all sessions and intends to become a Buddhist by taking the Precepts, Anattasati Magga will periodically offer a Precepts Ceremony.
