Not talking of the faults of others: Hoko on the 6th major precept

As part of the July 2024 precepts retreat at Sanshin, Hoko discusses the sixth of the ten major precepts in Mahayana Buddhism and the Soto Zen tradition: not talking of the faults of others. The video begins with a reading from three major texts on the bodhisattva precepts (Dogen's Kyojukaimon, Bodhidharma's One-Mind precepts, and the Bonmokyo), commenting on this precept in particular. Recorded on July 5th, 2024. For further teachings and context on the sixteen bodhisattva precepts: https://sanshin-source.weebly.com/pre...
