Five Buddhist Precepts for Ethical Living - Online

With Laura Jomon Martin

February 26 - April 2, 2026
Online
These 90 minute 5 Precepts classes will happen every Thursday for six weeks. We all want to live a compassionate life. The precepts give us a framework for what it means to live an ethical life. More then a set of rules to follow, the precepts are deep inquiries into the actual living of our lives with attention and love. The format is an introductory talk followed by class discussion. Participants will be encouraged to do a short writing on each precept and practice with the precept during the week. There are also some supplemental readings.
