Geoff’s new book on the Zen precepts has now been published, and is available online at Amazon books as a paperback and kindle version. For those who attend the centre in North Sydney you may purchase a signed paperback copy directly from Geoff.
Zen Buddhism is best known for its cultivation of spiritual insight, rigorous practice of sitting meditation and mindful simplicity in every-day life. What is less known about Zen is its ethical foundation, its roots deep in the Buddha’s teachings of non-harm and generosity of spirit.
These teachings are the ten precepts. They are not commandments, or moral absolutes, but guidelines on how to cultivate good character, to conduct our lives with better wisdom and compassion.
