MONDAY ZEN with Jon Joseph: Three Pure Vows
REGISTER
Last week, in spending time with the Three Refuge Vows, we talked about the act and experience of taking refuge in awakening, the Way, and our companions. Now we are looking into the second set of three vows, the Three Pure Vows.
I vow to do no harm.
I vow to do good.
I vow to do good for others.
In spending time with these vows as koans, it naturally brings up questions like, what does “pure” mean? What is harm, good, and good for others? Where is the cave of the Buddhas, and how do we find the source of their teachings? The path of perfect enlightenment, it is said we all walk, is that my path? Ordinary and awakened; free ourselves and others. Much to talk about.
—Jon Joseph
COME JOIN US on Mondays for koan meditation, dharma talk and conversation. Register to participate. All are welcome.
