Sesshin Jukai



 

August 12-18 (arrival on August 11, departure on August 18 after breakfast)


This session is for people who wish to enter the Buddha-Way – to receive the precepts.


Receiving the precepts is the first step on the Buddhist path. One then becomes a bodhisattva, a being who practices Awakening and thus helps all existences to become liberated.
During this retreat, teachings will be given on the main aspects of bodhisattva practice:

  • Taking refuge in the Three Treasures – Buddha, Dharma, Sangha.
  • Repentance: acknowledging without guilt the infinity of our small dysfunctions to access a new life.
  • Receiving the precepts.

Whether you wish to enter the Buddha-Way and receive the precepts, or support through your practice those who will receive the precepts, you are all welcome to this session.

Registration :


– For those who wish to receive the precepts, registration is by contacting the secretariat at secretariat@kanshoji.org ;

– For those who come to practice without receiving the precepts, registration is done through the Summer Retreat registration form.

 

Single fee for the session (6 days): 310€ (for those who receive the precepts)

Smaller budgets can ask for a reduction according to their income (on presentation of proof).
