275 – Ten Fields of Zen, Field Five – Precepts: Transcending Self-Attachment (3 of 3)
This episode, “Precepts: Transcending Self-Attachment,” is the third installment of chapter five of my book-in-process, The Ten Fields of Zen: A Primer for Practitioners. In the first episode, I described the central role of Precepts in Zen and covered the Three Refuges, Three Pure Precepts, and two of the Grave Precepts. In the last episode, I talked about the Grave (serious, or weighty) Precepts 3-8. In this episode, I discuss Grave Precepts nine and ten, and talk about how we work with Precepts.
