Observing the Eight Precepts & Buddhist Etiquette (Full-Day Retreat)
About this event
Step into a day of quiet simplicity, where the Eight Precepts serve as more than just guidelines. They become companions on the path of clarity and inner discipline. This one-day retreat, guided by our Dharma Advisor (Venerable) offers a rare chance to set aside worldly distractions and dwell in the rhythm of mindful living.
Rather than focusing on abstention alone, the retreat invites participants to directly experience how precepts support the mind in becoming lighter, clearer, and more grounded. Through stillness, guided reflections, and mindful actions, we begin to taste the quiet strength that arises from ethical living.
The group size is kept small to honour each person's journey and allow for closer guidance throughout the day. Whether you are revisiting the precepts or encountering them for the first time, this one-day retreat is a space to reconnect with the foundations of Buddhist practice in a steady and supportive environment. A simple vegetarian lunch will be provided.

About the organiser
We are a contemporary Buddhist community committed to making the Dharma accessible in English. While many Mahāyāna teachings are traditionally shared in Mandarin, our Vihāra provides a welcoming environment for practitioners to explore the Dharma in a language that resonates with them. By integrating traditional teachings with modern perspectives, we offer an approach to Buddhist practice that is both relevant and meaningful in today’s world.
Rooted in core Buddhist values such as mindfulness, ethical living, and selfless service, we support one another in cultivating wisdom and compassion. Through study, meditation, and compassionate action, we walk the path of inner transformation, together.
