Many believers know Jesus won the victory at Calvary, but still wonder why prayer, spiritual authority, and standing against darkness matter so much today.

In week 2 of Precepts for Skillful Engagement: Cultivating loving interactions in turbulent times (BIPOC Teachers, Series 1), Dana talks about the importance of deeper and creative understandings of the precept of not stealing. Drawing from her personal background as an academic, and as a priest and teacher, Dana examines the precept of not stealing when framed in terms of who believes they have expertise or the right to be heard in shared spaces and conversations. In that spirit, here is a version of the 5 Precepts that may help to shine the light of awareness on how to share space and dialogue without taking what is not given. We hope you enjoy!You can also watch the YouTube version which includes chanting and Q&A here.5 Fundamental Precepts (not stealing week)I vow to promote non-harming.I vow to promote space-equity.I vow to promote intimacy.I vow to promote balanced speech.I vow to refrain from expertise-ness.

Recorded on March 20, 2026 during the three-day sesshin in preparation for the Jukai ceremony for receiving the Bodhisattva Precepts, at Boundless Mind Temple, Brooklyn, NY. In this first dharma talk of the sesshin, Charlie Korin Pokorny explores Jukai as a ceremony of bearing witness to radical relationality, and of asking how to allow one's life to become a testament to the reality of non-separation. Charlie reads from and comments on the article, “Witnessing Subjectivity,” by philosopher and scholar Kelly Oliver. The article can be accessed here.

A continuation of Mayan Principles of Being, this lecture explores the nature of psychological forces, attention, divine states, and mystical reality within The Flight of the Feathered Serpent, a book of Mayan esotericism. To understand the clarion call of its author, it is necessary to confront our current condition and the common state of humanity. Despite our best intentions, we live in a state of illusion, thinking we are awake, when in truth we are hypnotized and identified with material life, investing our identities within superficial external phenomena without understanding their correlation with the deepest parts of ourselves. It is by cultivating conscious perception and insight into the internal causes of suffering that we can comprehend how to positively change the trajectory of our lives and society, for if we do not truly know ourselves, ennobled action in daily life becomes impossible. Through meditative techniques like self-observation (actively watching our internal states in body, heart, and mind), self-remembrance (connecting our inner states with divinity), and energy conservation (purifying the way we save and spend our creative capital), we fuel our capacity for awakening our latent potential for the betterment of the world. See how through the mystical lyricism of this powerful esoteric text. Resources and References: https://chicagognosis.org/lectures/mayan-precepts-of-awakening

Pastor Terry reflects on Psalm 119:4, emphasizing that God commands us to keep His precepts diligently and that obedience springs from recognizing God as the Law's Author. He connects this to Psalm 19's declaration of the law's goodness and the promise of great reward for keeping it, and to Jesus' teaching to love God with all our being and to love our neighbor as ourselves. The episode encourages choosing diligent obedience and practical love as the path to experience God's blessing in daily life.

(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 7 - The Five Precepts: A Householder's Guide to Daily PracticeGotama Buddha gave us guidance to conduct life without harm to other beings or ourselves. This is titled “The Five Precepts”.These are not commandments nor rules to follow, rather how to ensure you are not causing harm to others or yourself. By causing harm to others, we cause harm to ourselves by The Natural Law of Kamma. Through practice of these precepts, you will drastically eliminate unwholesome Kamma production and, thus, experience a more peaceful and content existence.Gotama Buddha's Teachings are not to control an individual nor dictate what they should or should not do. But instead, provide guidance that when practiced will lead to Enlightenment, liberation of the mind, a peaceful and content mind and, thus, a peaceful and content life. Everything in this practice is attained through personal choice.In this Podcast, David will help you understand what Gotama Buddha taught regarding The Five Precepts and how to apply them to your daily life in modern times.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

Podcast: Light on Life Season Thirteen Episode Twelve. In a previous episode, we saw that knowing God is not meant to remain devotional—it leads into dominion, delegated authority, and Kingdom action.

Ajahn Dhammasiha praises participants of our One Day Meditation Retreat for their commitment to virtue and unshakable ethical principles. By committing ourselves, without any if or when, to non-violence; to commit ourselves to abstain in all possible circumstance from any act of killing, we're making a powerful statement against war, and remove ourselves from any participation in war and violence. By developing bhāvanā to weaken and ultimately abandon greed, hatred and delusion, we work on removing the deep causes of any forms of war and violence. Ajahn shares several stories of persons who decided not to kill/not to shoot in very challenging situations, some of them possibly even saving the world from global nuclear war through their courageous decisions. These heros of not-killing and non-violence are unfortunately much less famous and much less appreciated than "heros" who receive the Victoria Cross and similar medals of "bravery" for killing. Often their steadfastness in obeying their conscience goes completely unnoticed, or worse, it may even lead to them being denigrated and attacked. Similar for those who dare to state the truth in challenging circumstances. Stating a simple truth, though it is disagreeable to those in power, can be a truly heroic act with far-reaching consequences. It may break the spell of false narratives and propaganda, and be of great long term benefit to many beings, even though the truth tellers may be attacked, or may even end up sacrificing their life for their act of truthfulness.

In this episode, Byron breaks down the Man of Peace protocols: a framework designed to move men from vague spirituality to applied discipleship. As sons of God, men are called to function as king-priests — serving under Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and High Priest. Priesthood informs kingship. Deliverance produces authority. Alignment produces clarity. These protocols address real life: Marriage Fatherhood. Leadership. Spiritual authority. This is discipleship with structure. If you want more than inspiration — if you want framework — that's what this is about. Subscribe to the podcast at

On the practice of sitting, walking, becoming, and living as yourself, precisely where you are. (0:00) – Introduction and Guest Welcome (2:21) – Gru's Journey to Zen Practice (5:53) – Elena's Personal Reflections (12:18) – The Concept of "Becoming Yourself" (19:34) – The Role of Precepts and Ethical Practice (32:29) – The Importance of Confidence and Effort (37:46) – Conclusion and Gratitude This long-awaited new book from Shunryu Suzuki: Becoming Yourself: Teachings on the Zen Way of Life, edited by Jiryu Rutschman-Byler and Sojun Mel Weitsman, is one of my favorite books of 2025. Jiryu Rutschman-Byler is a Soto Zen Buddhist priest and teacher in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, with dharma transmission from Sojun Mel Weitsman. Jiryu has trained residentially in Zen temples since 1996, and currently serves as a co-Abbot of San Francisco Zen Center through his role as Abiding Abbot of Green Gulch Farm Zen Center. Shunryu Suzuki was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the Twentieth Century and a founding father of Zen in America. Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, first published in the U.S. in 1970, is considered one of the most important Buddhist books in modern history, and has been translated into more than thirty-five languages. A Japanese priest of the Sōtō lineage, Suzuki taught Buddhism in the United States from 1959 until his death in 1971. He was the founder of the San Francisco Zen Center and the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. While contemporary Buddhist figures such as His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Thích Nhất Hạnh, and Pema Chödrön are more familiar to American audiences, Shunryu Suzuki was among the first Buddhist teachers with cultural influence in the West and was the first to establish a lasting practice community in the U.S. Importantly, the warmth, humor, and simplicity of Suzuki's teachings made Buddhism accessible. For decades, the San Francisco Zen Center has preserved an archive of Suzuki's original audio teachings, most of which have never been edited or published. Becoming Yourself: Teachings on the Zen Way of Life offers newly available teachings by Suzuki, exploring a practice he describes as fundamentally about "becoming yourself." Rather than offering a philosophy or even a set of techniques, Suzuki points to a way of being, and calls readers to the simple practice of zazen, or "just to sit," as the expression of a fulfilling life and grounded ethical orientation. Becoming Yourself is a result of the painstaking efforts of the Zen community over many years. Archiving, transcribing and interpreting Suzuki's intention clearly and accurately proved to be very challenging work. The final editor and compiler of the book is Jiryu Rutschman-Byler, a senior teacher and co-Abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center. As we learn in these pages, "becoming yourself" is not meant to be understood as an idea but rather tried out as a way of being. It is a practice of deeply connecting with how it feels to be alive in your surroundings, whether on a meditation cushion or not, and stepping forward from that connection. It is opening to your life, wherever you are, and finding right there a deep well of innate wisdom, compassion, and care.
