    Ryaku Fusatsu - Tuesday, August 1st, 2023

    Hello, dear sangha

    On Tuesday, August 1st, on the day of the full moon, we get together again to be reminded of the Precepts, to recommit to them and to atone for past misdeeds, as it has been the custom since the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, within the Sangha. This ceremony in Soto Zen is called Ryaku Fusatsu.


    The history of the monthly full moon ceremony is explained HERE

    To find your local time, please check the Treeleaf calendar, which can be found HERE

    The Ryaku Fusatsu ceremony will be held in the Meeting Room, which can be found HERE

    You can also join our livestream if you do not wish to be on camera or participate at a later time, whenever it is better for you, with the recording, which you will find here:


    Please join in for the Treeleaf Ryaku Fusatsu Precepts Recommitment Ceremony. The history of the ceremony is detailed here https://www.treeleaf.org/forums/sh...


    The ceremony is easy to follow along with, so please download the booklet for it HERE


    If you wish to participate, you'll also need a vessel with water and a leaf, or something you can sprinkle yourself with when the moment arrives.
    We hope you can join us! All are welcome to attend or participate, having received the Precepts or not. We look forward to seeing you there!

    🙏🏼

            Thank you to all who renew their vows this month.

            May we use these hands and bodies and lives to care for everything we encounter. Love without grasping.

            Gassho,
