Online: Understanding Right Conduct and the Buddhist Precepts
with Ayya Soma
Sunday, January 16th, 2022 | 9:00am – 11:00am ET
Why do laypeople take precepts? Why do Bhikkhunis have more monastic rules than Bhikkhus? Why are monastics celibate?
During this session, Ayya Soma will discuss the practice of sila (morality, or right conduct) in Buddhism, explore the purpose of the precepts, and highlight the difference between letting go and deprivation.
