In the Rinzai Zen tradition, to take refuge is not to escape the world—but to return to what is most true.
This intimate, monthly course offers a deep exploration of the Zen precepts as living koans: dynamic ethical and philosophical inquiries that illuminate the heart of awakened life.
Together we’ll engage 2–3 precepts each month, not as rigid rules, but as doorways to awareness, integrity, and compassionate action in our modern world. Teachings, reflection, dialogue, and guided practice will support your personal and spiritual growth.
This journey culminates in an optional refuge ceremony for those who feel called to formally take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.
Open to sincere practitioners from all backgrounds. Beginners welcome.
Attendance at all sessions is required to honor the integrity of the group.
Will meet the 2nd Saturday of each month
