Matthew Kozan Palevsky: Merchants of Emptiness

In this fourth and final talk in Upaya’s Dharma talk series on the precepts, Matthew Kozan Palevsky explores the Ten Grave Precepts. He suggests that we look at these precepts not primarily as “do’s and don’ts” but rather as guides as to what living out of an awakened mind would look like. Kozan invites us to return again and again to the Bodhisattva vows: as our thoughts and desires shift, the precepts are constant; as we come and go, the Bodhisattva precepts remain.
