The Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts: Emergent Ethics of Radical Relationality
Soto Zen
Twelve-week online exploration of the Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts through a Soto Zen lens, framed as practice in radical relationality and collective liberation. Study and practice combined.
About this retreat
This is a twelve-week online program, not a residential retreat — it runs from September through November 2026 and combines study with practice. The Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts are the ethical foundation of Mahayana Buddhism, often taught as a deepening of basic Buddhist ethics into relationship and interdependence. The center frames them here through the lens of "radical relationality," suggesting the precepts will be explored not as rules but as invitations to see ethics as inseparable from how we're connected to others and to collective wellbeing.
The center has not yet published the teacher's name, the weekly schedule, or details about how the online participation works — whether there are live sessions, recorded content, discussion forums, or practice assignments. Contact Green Gulch Farm Zen Center directly for those specifics before registering.
Schedules can change — confirm details on Green Gulch Farm Zen Center / Green Dragon Temple's website.
