Sila—Not Killing, Stealing, Lying—as a Path to Nibbana

Date: 2025-02-20 Thursday

As many of you know, Buddhist ethics -  sila in Pali – isn’t exactly a moral code but  rather a way of cultivating healthy  actions of body, speech and mind that support us  and others in life. Also it’s not a crisp boundary of right and wrong, but rather a training, a core part of our Dharma practice.

For this first session will be exploring the three most straightforward of the five:  training in not killing, training in not lying, training in not stealing. We’ll see how subtle these three can be, and how much these become a diamond edge in our practice.
