About this IMS Online Program

This program was recorded live on April 11 - May 2 , 2024

The Buddha taught 500 lay followers during the Dhammika Sutta which precepts a lay person should follow on ordinary days, and the additional precepts to be practiced on special days of observance. 

Throughout the Sutta series, we will explore narratives about and discourses by the Buddha, which have been passed down for over 2,500 years, and directly apply them to practice in our modern lives.

This program is open to beginning and seasoned meditators alike. All are welcome. This program will include dharma teachings, meditation instructions, and opportunities for Q&R.
