Shao Shan Temple
Sunday, July 5, 2020
Every year on the Sunday nearest to July 4th, we have the Jukai - the formal public commitment to the Bodhisattva precepts. Joshua D. Robitille (Josh) received the first five Bodhisattva precepts and made his commitment to a Buddhist way of life. Due to the current covid-19 pandemic, this year's ceremony was necessarily modified - with only Josh and his wife coming in person to the Temple and sangha members supporting and participating via zoom.
Thanks to all who joined in a spirit of renewal and intentions which support a life beneficial for all. In these unusual times, may our strength of commitment radiate blessings throughout the world.
