Summer Precept Study

Deepening Our Practice of Ethical Conduct

July 1 – August 20

Buddhist-oriented recovery is not only about renouncing harmful substances and behaviors. We must also retool ourselves into ways of right thought, right speech and right action.

Developing a presence of precepts in our lives is vital to this process. Join us for a season of study and practice!


Short Talks on the Five Precepts

Nourishment and Healing


Practicing Buddha's Precepts


This resource was created by the Pittsboro Recovery Dharma Precept Practice Group and is available to anyone who finds it helpful on their path of recovery.


The intention in reciting the precepts is to keep them alive in our minds and hearts, grounding us in our values as we work to transform suffering in ourselves and those around us.


The recitation ceremony can be done individually, but is more powerful when experienced with a group.
