Precepts Program Summer 2025

Precepts are guidelines that Zen practitioners follow.  In our Jukai Ceremony and Priest Ordination Ceremony, people commit to live by these Precepts to guide how they function in the world, how they interact with all beings, and how to live with compassion and wisdom. Understanding these commitments is a necessary step on our path of awakening beyond zazen and Mondo Zen Facilitation.

This training program involves a combination of personal inquiry, online discussion and dharma teachings lead by Hollow Bones priests and Roshis.  Each week, participants will work with one of the eleven precepts of Hollow Bones Zen.
