Ananda’s 12 Precepts

Namaste Sangha,

The season has returned for us to enter into Ananda’s 12 Precepts again and see how the journey unfolds for each of us.

We will begin in November with Precept 1: To Face the Past, exploring this theme through our own unique expressions of art and poetry.

If you feel inspired to join us each month, you are warmly welcome to reach out to me. This is an opportunity to explore our inner world, express our thoughts and feelings, and reflect on our spiritual journey together. There is no right or wrong way to participate, simply come as you are and allow your creativity and inner reflections to unfold naturally.

Here are Ananda’s 12 Precepts and the themes for each month

  1. To face the past — November

  2. To relinquish attachments — December

  3. To accept past errors without regret as simple facts, trying to see that it was God, through our imperfect understanding, who did it all — January

  4. To release the grip of ego-consciousness — February

  5. To release, one by one, every desire and attachment into the Supreme Bliss — March

  6. To offer every regret into God’s love and Infinite Consciousness — April

  7. To forgive past hurts and betrayals — May

  8. To give out universal love to everyone, even to so-called enemies — June

  9. To help others see that everyone is motivated, however misguidedly, by the same soul-craving for Satchidananda — July

  10. To concentrate on infinity — August

  11. To practice devotion — September

  12. To learn to overcome fear by realizing that we are not this body — October

May this journey open our hearts and minds, bringing deeper understanding, inspiration and spiritual growth as we explore each precept together.
