SUMMARY:A Pure Life Mahyana Precepts
DESCRIPTION:Livestream Only \nDuring this morning ceremony on Buddha’s Enlightenment Day\, April 15\, we take the eight Mahayana precepts\, and explicitly promise to abstain for twenty-four hours from eight actions: killing\, stealing\, sexual activity\, lying\, taking intoxicants\, eating after lunch\, sitting on high or luxurious thrones or seats\, wearing ornaments\, perfume\, etc\, and singing and dancing\, etc. These eight\, however\, are merely symbolic\, for in reality we promise to abstain from all non-virtuous actions for twenty-four hours. Taking and keeping these precepts is a special purification practice. Buddha realized that all living beings’ suffering comes from their previous negative karma\, and so he taught special practices to purify it. \nThis ceremony will be live-streamed at 6:30am and will be offered by Noreen Flack\, Resident Teacher at KMC Austin. Free. Everyone welcome!
