Jukai (receiving the precepts), also called lay ordination, is a ceremony in which a Zen practitioner makes a formal commitment to practicing the bodhisattva precepts and receives a dharma name, rakusu (small garment in the form of the Buddha’s robe, which they have hand-sewn), and both a traditional lineage paper, and a women’s heritage document.

Nine sangha members will receive the precepts in this ceremony: Adair Manning, Casey Miller, Emily Briggson, Jonathan Walker, Lily Eskandari, Mike Roth, Karen Shklanka, Susan Steudel, and Zayn Hammoud

A reception will follow the ceremony. Sweet and savoury finger food contributions appreciated.

Everyone welcome! Including online folks
