7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Each Wednesday from January 14 through March 4, we have jukai students presenting Way-Seeking Mind talks. On January 21, our students are Kyle Butler and Graham Schneider. 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.
Location: Boundless Mind Temple, Brooklyn, NY
Schedule: Wednesday, 7–8:30pm ET | Live-streamed (not recorded)
Full Series Schedule: January 14 • January 21 • 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.
