Buddhist Ethics for the Contemporary World

Hosted by

From the Organizer:

Join John Peacock and Yuka Nakamura to examine questions such as: Is Sīla the same as ‘ethics’, as we understand it in the Western world? Is Buddhism a moral psychology or a contextual ethics, or both? They will also consider moral problems such as assisted dying; social inequality; racism; suicide; meat eating.

With Christina Feldman and John Peacock

Over the course of this retreat we will examine the relationship between the development of a profound form of attention (yoniso manasikāra) leading to a penetrating insight (vipassanā) into the way we are to live our lives. The way that we live our lives can be summed up in the word 'ethics' (sīla) - not as a list of rules, but as a responsiveness to the unfolding and changing dimensions of our lives and our inter-relationships with others, the environment and other beings. For experienced practitioners.
