Jukai - Bodhisattva Vows - July 1, 2018


Shao Shan Temple
Sunday, July 1, 2018


This year Hollie Hurewitz-Herbert made the commitment to become a formal student of Shao Shan Temple.  She received the 16 precepts, a Buddhist name and has become Taihaku’s student.













Kathleen Daye, Peter Heaney, Brian Hebert, and Dan Zura 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 Hollie, Kathleen, Peter, Brian and Dan are entering.  


Thank you to everyone who joined together with us in a spirit of renewal of your commitments and intentions which support a life beneficial for all.
