Jukai - "Ceremony of giving and receiving Precepts"
Sunday December 10
Zazen: 9:00am
Ceremony: 10:00am
The Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts represent our aspiration to live an ethical life, as well as our commitment to the continual inquiry that such a life demands. They are the wisdom of the Buddhas and Ancestors handed down through the generations, and also something that already lives within our own hearts. Join us as several of our friends in the Dharma and members of the Buddha Eye community receive the Bodhisattva Precepts in a special ceremony. Jukai has been enacted countless times over the generations, and presents to us an important moment in the lives of individual community members but also the entire assembly.
This year, the ceremony of Jukai coincides with the commemoration of the Buddha’s Enlightenment, and the closing of Rohatsu sesshin.
