Jukai - Bodhisattva Vows - July 3, 2022

Shao Shan Temple

Sunday, July 3, 2022





The ancient formal ceremony of Jukai was held on Sunday.  This year Scott Fields made the commitment to become a formal student of Shao Shan Temple.  He received the 16 precepts, a Buddhist name and has become Kenzan’s student.  Scott's Dharma Name is HON-CHU meaning True Center.

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 Scott is entering.  It was followed by light refreshments.

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