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.

Five sangha members will receive the precepts in this ceremony: Jason Found, Becky Hardy, Michael Hare, Angela Kayira, Roy Rendon, Augusta Lokhorst, and Kate Siddall. Please come support them and celebrate.

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

Everyone welcome! Including online folks—Zoom link will be posted below.
