Description

In this Teisho, given on August 3rd, 2022, Rinzan Osho begins his examination of the Ten Grave Precept: We will be reverential and mindful with all life; we will not kill or be ruled by violence. In addition to exploring the perennial religious commitment not to kill, Rinzan explores what it means to follow a precept, how to take it on from a creative vital place of personal exploration and transformation. Rather than getting caught in right or wrong, he asks, "Who do we become, when we follow this precept with all our heart and soul."
