Three of our sangha members, Fay Akindes, Eli Lu and Meg Lucks, will receive the Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts in a traditional ceremony on Sunday, September 22, after the dharma talk.

The three candidates have prepared for this occasion for the last six months by sewing their own replica of the Buddha’s robe (in a miniature version called rakusu). They studied the meaning of the precepts and have begun to incorporate them into their lives.

Families and friends of the ordainees, as well as sangha members, are invited to this joyful event. Please register with Reirin by sending an email to info@mkzen.org.
