Determining 5 Precepts for 2021 (includes Puja, Talk & Guided Meditation)
Update: 2021-01-01
Description
On New Year's Eve we offered a special ceremony for those who wish to really commit themselves to observance of the 5 precepts for the following year. Quite a substantial group showed up and made that powerful commitment.
The sequence of the ceremony is as follows:
- Buddha Puja with Evening Chanting (some Chants in Pali, some in English)
- Requesting the Triple Refuge & Five Precepts
- Taking refuge in Buddha, Dhamma & Sangha
- Committing to the 5 Precepts for all of 2021
- A few words of acvice by Ajahn Dhammasiha, encouraging participants in their resolution to train in the five 'Trainingsteps' to purify their virtue
- Short Guided Meditation, where Ajahn recommends to 'feel out' the uplifting, energizing effect such a powerful resulution has on our mind (silent period has been edited and reduced to half a minute for this podcast)
- Paying respect to Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha
