Description

Each Wednesday from January 14 through March 4, we have Jukai students presenting Way-Seeking Mind talks. On February 11, our student is Steven Oliver. Way-Seeking Mind talks are part of the preparation for students receiving the Zen Buddhist precepts in a ceremony called Jukai. In these offerings, students share what brought them to the path of practice—personal and intimate explorations supported by the strength of sangha. All are welcome to attend and support these students as they embark on this journey. You’re also welcome to join us for the Full Moon Ceremony at 7:00 PM prior to the talk (arrive by 6:45 PM for the ceremony).

Location: Boundless Mind Temple, Brooklyn, NY

Schedule: Wednesday, February 11
Full Moon Ceremony: 7:00 PM (arrive by 6:45 PM)
Way-Seeking Mind Talk: 7:45–8:30 PM ET (Special start time for this talk only)

Please note: On February 11, the Way-Seeking Mind Talk will begin at 7:45 PM instead of 7:00 PM.

Full Series Schedule: January 14 • January 28 • February 4 • February 11 • February 18 • February 25 • March 4

Livestream: The talks will also be live-streamed. For security reasons, we do not post zoom links publicly. Please sign up to “This Week at BZC” mailing list to receive the log in information.
