Day of Meditation Practice

How do we live in a way that doesn’t create more suffering?

This is the question at the heart of the Buddha’s teachings on ethical conduct (sila). Sila is one of the  teachings (called the paramis) that provide support for engaged Buddhism and the effort to be a source of compassionate service in the world. But sila isn’t a rigid list of do’s and don’ts handed down from on high. It’s a living, breathing sensitivity to the interconnectedness of all life. When our actions arise from wisdom instead of reactivity, from love instead of fear, we move through the world in ways that heal rather than harm.

What We’ll Explore Together

In this one-day online retreat, nico & Rhonda will explore sila parami through practice and dialogue—discovering how wisdom guides our actions. The day will begin with an hour of conversation and an opening talk around the theme. We’ll then sit and walk for four hours in lightly guided practice, before reconvening for a closing talk and further dialogue.
