Jukai - Bodhisattva Vows - June 30, 2019

Shao Shan Temple

Sunday, June 30, 2019

The ancient formal ceremony of Jukai was held on Sunday.  This year Heather Kralik and Monica DiGiovanni made the commitment to become a formal students of Shao Shan Temple.  They received the 16 precepts, a Buddhist name and have become Taihaku’s students.

Susan Stitely, Clara Bruns, and Amy Koenigbauer received the first five Bodhisattva precepts and made their commitment to a Buddhist way of life.

This ceremony was an occasion for the families and friends of those receiving the precepts and Sangha members to join together in support of the commitment that Heather, Monica, Susan, Clara and Amy are entering. 

Thanks to all who joined in a spirit of renewal and intentions which support a life beneficial for all.
