Precepts II – The Practices of a Bodhisattva

with Jody Hojin Kimmel·Zen

Zenday-sitbeginner-friendly

One-day retreat on bodhicitta and the Paramitas (Perfections) as practices of compassion. Open to all practitioners, including beginners. Includes direct work with the teacher.

About this retreat

This one-day retreat focuses on bodhicitta—the intention to awaken for the benefit of all beings—and the Paramitas (the six or ten Perfections), which are the practices that embody that intention. Rather than abstract study, the retreat treats these as actionable ways to bring compassionate action into daily life and work.

The center has not published the schedule, teacher name, or detailed description of how the day unfolds. Contact Zen Mountain Monastery directly for information about sitting periods, meals, and the structure of the day.
