Special Precept Study: March 11 – June 3

In alignment with the annual BWZ precepts study, we will be running a lighter-touch Transatlantic precepts study group. We will follow the same weekly program (topic) as the regular BWZ Tuesday precepts study with each week being led by a group member.

We welcome Sangha friends from all over the world to join us! As the Transatlantic group meets for only an hour, we will follow a condensed program. All are warmly welcome!


Meets every week on Wednesdays at 6pm UK time on BWZ Main Zoom

See the Bright Way Zen Calendar for upcoming meeting dates! All are welcome.
