On Sunday June 7th 2026, 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.
Domyo gave the precepts to 12 people – seven in the Dirt Zendo, and five in the Cloud Zendo. Congratulations to all!
