The 16 Bodhisattva Precepts of the Zen Way guide and remind us of how our formal practice connects with our practice in daily life. Dharma Holder Rev. Paul Galvin, Dharma Holder Esther Sorgenfrei, and Senior Assistant Teacher Rev. Corwyn Miyagishima will lead an exploration of the precepts in a series of five meetings.
