Details available at this link. https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/courses-retreats-in-chiang-mai-thai --------- The Five Precepts: A Householder's Guide to Daily Practice The Buddha gave us guidance to conduct life without harm to other beings or ourselves. This is titled “The Five Precepts”. These are not commandments nor rules to follow, rather how to ensure you are not causing harm to others or yourself. By causing harm to others, we cause harm to ourselves by the Natural Law of Kamma. Through practice of these precepts, you will drastically eliminate unwholesome Kamma production and, thus, experience a more peaceful and content existence. The Buddha’s Teachings are not to control an individual nor dictate what they should or should not do. But instead, provide guidance that when practiced will lead to Enlightenment, liberation of the mind, a peaceful and content mind and, thus, a peaceful and content life. David will help you understand what The Buddha taught regarding The Five Precepts and how to apply them to your daily life in modern times. ---------- FOUNDATION IN THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT - MEDITATION PRACTITIONER COURSE (30-HOURS) This course focuses on guiding Students in developing a solid foundation in The Teachings and practices of Gotama Buddha.
