While I am taking a bit of a break from teaching and offering Dharma Talks, I'll be posting a series of talks I offered in 2018 and 2019 connected to The Open Source tradition's Ceremony of Taking Refuge in the Bodhisattva Way (the complete liturgy for the ceremony can be found here).

The Three Root Vows
(with Dogen's commentaries)

I vow not to do harm
     This is the cave where the teachings of all the Buddhas have their source

I vow to do good
     This is the way of perfect enlightenment, and the path that everyone walks

I vow to do good for others
     This is going beyond any distinction between ordinary and awakened people, freeing yourself and others
