Learn About the Buddhist Precepts
While taking the Precepts may not be important to some, for others they are a commitment to a mindful life. Though you may not understand all details about what it means to take the Precepts, a class can offer some insights and lead to better discernment. The structure of guidance under the direction of a master and of being part of a Sangha have always been the foundation for a focused, balanced and stable spiritual path.
Please join us at the next Precept class: Friday, August 10, at 6 PM. The event will be followed by a get-together with refreshments for those who would like to stay. Please register at www.lotustemple.us/classsignup.html

The next meditation retreat is scheduled for Saturday September 1, 2012. Please visit http://www.lotustemple.us/nextretreat.html for more information and/or to sign up.
