Arrival: Sunday 10 August between 3pm and 6pm.
Departure: Sunday 17 August.
Receiving the precepts is the first step on the Buddhist way. We then become a bodhisattva, a being who practises awakening and thus helps all existences to liberate themselves.
During this retreat, teachings will be given on the main aspects of bodhisattva practice:
- Taking refuge in the Three Treasures – Buddha, Dharma, Sangha.
- Repentance: recognising without guilt the infinity of our small dysfunctions in order to access a new life.
- Receiving the precepts.
Whether you wish to enter the Buddha Way and receive the precepts, or support through your practice those who will receive the precepts, you are all welcome to this session.
Registration and fees :
