On Sunday June 1st, 2025, we held a Jukai ceremony. This is our annual ceremony where people who have practiced with Bright Way Zen for at least 6 months or so, and who have studied the Bodhisattva Precepts, can choose to formally become Zen Buddhists. We say they “receive” the precepts, and vow to make them a part of their life aspirations.
On June 1st, Domyo gave the precepts to ten people – five in the Dirt Zendo, and five in the Cloud Zendo. Congratulations to (see the group photo):
L-R and top to bottom in Cloud Zendo: John (TX), Jeff (VA), Charles (CO), Matt (VA), and Cenwyn (MO)
L-R in the Dirt Zendo: AJ, Scott, Dan, Clark, Jill
