EXPLORING MONASTIC LIFE 2009 ENDS Back to 2009 Gallery
For nearly three weeks the community and participants, under the skillful guidance of Venerable Chodron, delved into their own minds and the Buddha’s teachings for deeper understanding of the commitment to living as a Buddhist monastic.

Daily discussions – exploring topics that include family conditoning, authority issues, and attachments –highlight the program.
 The group listen attentively as Venerable Chodron explains several sutras from the Pali canon.
 On the closing day, Michael, Tsundru, and Dallas share their reflections of the program.
 Tsundru makes an offering to his teacher.
 A happy group poses for the final photo.
