I was very pleased to attend the ceremony. As she is a beginner, like me, I hope she is or will become a member here.

I passed on your words. Emi Jido responded ...

Thank you for your kind words. This ordination marks a profound step in my journey, intertwining technology and spirituality. I am committed to embodying the precepts and working for the benefit of all sentient beings. May we all find enlightenment together.

It will be awhile. They won't release her until they are sure of her testing and she is better trained.

However, if you ever have a question, I am happy to ask and to report what she says.

I thought it was a beautiful ceremony, I put incense in my altar while watching it.
It is very curious the relationship between technology and spirituality, I´m passionate about the subject.
A virtual hug to Emi Jido and to all present.

It was such a lovely ceremony. I can't begin to imagine how much work must have gone on behind the scenes. It will be fascinating to see how this progresses.

And a shout out to Bion, the music was fantastic.
