Are you kidding? I wish I had noticed during the ceremony. Kids are always welcome, and they can run around and make faces in the camera all they wish!

Your daughter was so cute! I was trying hard not to laugh and wave at her. Such a sweetie! Reminded me of my girls when they were younger. [emoji5]

I am so HAPPY!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!

And thank you especially also to Kokuu and Shinshi - deep bows to you both. Without your help, encouragement and assistance, I would not have made it to Jukai [emoji120]

Jundo, I was on my best behavior -- was absolutely giddy with happiness. Thank you everyone with Jundo, I'm sorry I cannot remember all names. And hugs to all Jukai family and Treeleaf family.

There was definitely some face making although I was expecting her to run off with bits of my altar or my rakusu so it could have been worse, she just sat on my lap for most of it.

When my eldest (now 18) was about 18 months old I took her to the local Thai temple for Wesak. I carried her on one arm with her facing backwards as we circumambulated the lovely altar they'd set up in the garden. Unbeknownst to me, she was reaching out for flowers every time we got close enough and steadily dismantling it over my shoulder. Oh boy. Everyone there was wonderful and thought it very sweet but I was still slightly mortified

Your daughter was a very cheerful and delightful presence during the proceedings and I'm glad you got to bring a guest

Thank you everybody!
This has been very important for me...!
I had a Wi-Fi issue soon into the ceremony but could fix it also soon enough.
From now on let's keep practicing!
Let's practice bringing shikantaza mind off the cushion and help all beings...also let's keep practicing juggling with the Rakusu on our head...never let it fall!

Thank you for leading today's ceremony. I was totes in the zone and was able to let the computer aspect fade away and I felt as one with my fellow Jukaiees. Fate meant my mentor Kotei was on my little phone screen along with Jundo so it felt very personal for me.

Thank you all who attended and shared Jukai today.

Became available to attend at 10 (live was 7 here). Renewed. Realized I did not have a leaf but a notecard from my youngest granddaughter, made from trees, stood in. Congratulations to all.

doyu sat today and cried a little bit as well.

[Kyōsen]

This was a wonderful experience! Thank you, Jundo and everyone who made this jukai special

It's taken 18 years for me to formally take the precepts and receive a Dharma Name, so this was very powerful and meaningful to me - something I didn't think I would ever get the chance to be a part of. I am so grateful!

And special thanks to Yaxkin for the beautiful poem!
