DESCRIPTION
47th bead: Not to commit or participate in unchaste conduct

The most strongly enforced of all known taboos is the taboo against knowing who or what you really are behind the mask of your apparently separate, independent, and isolated ego.
---Alan Watts

Yes, and perhaps the second most strongly enforced of all taboos is the one against exploring one’s sexuality. We find ourselves willing to investigate killing, stealing, lying, anger, avarice, pride, and slander. But the third prohibitive precept has historically evoked a curious reluctance to an eyes-wide-open, conscious, compassionate investigation...until we broached the topic of sexuality in the yearlong retreat and discovered how ready we are as a Sangha to have a conversation about sexuality and suffering.

Join Cheri and Sangha in an interactive email class that gives us the freedom to see how we are controlled and made to suffer by our conditioned beliefs around sexuality.

The first class assignment will be emailed on Friday Sept. 1. This class includes virtual group discussions on 4 Sundays: Sept. 10, 17, 24, Oct. 1

All proceeds from this email class will go to Living Compassion in Kantolomba.

Additional donations to this project are deeply appreciated and gratefully received.
