Description

In this Teisho, given on September 7th, 2022, Rinzan Osho continues his examination of the Ten Grave Precepts with Teisho on the Fifth Precept: "We will exercise proper care of our body and mind; we will not be gluttonous or abuse intoxicants." It is essential, in taking responsibility for our lives, that we consider why it is that we use substances. Though it may seem that we use them to turn towards a certain experience, we can also see that it turns us away. True intimacy and freedom come from learning the pathways to the full landscape of our being, relying on nothing to get us there.
