Aging as a Spiritual Practice: How to Grow Older and Wiser

Aging as a Spiritual Practice

This retreat is intended for people looking for ways to navigate aging's various challenges and rewards. The older we get the more we come to experience the inevitable Buddhist truth of change, and for many of us this can be a difficult process. Regardless of whether you are enjoying growing old, hating it, or in denial, Richmond offers us all an inner road map for aging. March 2012

Roshi Bodhin Kjolhede

The Precepts as Practice

The Precepts as Practice

Roshi Bodhin Kjolhede of Rochester Zen Center leads us in this retreat about the Precepts, guides to Buddhist morality. The dharma rests on meditation, wisdom, and morality—the three-legged stool of practice, as Kjolhede calls it—and while wisdom and meditation are always in demand in the West, morality tends to get short shrift. But morality is not just something to keep vaguely in mind—doing the hard work of living right—following the Precepts—is doing the dharma, just as much as sitting on the cushion or studying sutras. In this retreat, Roshi Kjolhede will guide us through the Three Refuges, the Three General Resolutions, and the Ten Cardinal Precepts, which together compreise the Precepts as commonly understood in Zen Buddhism.
