Beautiful ceremony Jundo and Taigu - thank you for all your efforts! Although I received the precepts last year, I chose to do so again this year and was with you all today. It was wonderful to share this experience again with all of you.
Thank you Jundo and Taigu for giving us all the opportunity to participate in this celebration.
Thank you Dojin for being the "Voice" we all had issues with.
Thank you Treeleaf Sangha for being our extended family and so much more!
Hi
Thanks to all well wishers and congratulations to all Jukai participants. Thanks Jundo for helping to usher Buddhism into the 21st century with current computer technology. Without computers I'm sure a lot of us would never have been able to participate in Jukai.

Can you post a list of the dharma names (and their meanings) from the Jukai ceremony? You read it out during the ceremony.
gassho,

Hi John,
I wrote to each of the people involved, and will leave it to anyone who wants to use their name or disclose the meaning. Sometimes there is a little humor or private matter involved in picking a name, so I do not want to say which name goes with whom.
Am curious who all attended, camera or not. Some folks on cam I recognized, others I didn't. But it was mentioned there were still others who didn't have cams.

I was on web-cam much of the time....my web cam kept crashing however. In the Ustream window I couldn't talk before the Jukai as I forgot my password...saw a lot of people communicating before the ceremony and wanted to join in ....oh well it was still a wonderful experience!
I didn't catch the ceremony live, partly because I didn't want to add to any overload of the system, but also because I had two very demanding children vying for attention.

I peeped live but no camera -figured that would before the Jukaiees. i did pop in there sans cam before things got underway.
definitely understand Dosho, I had the littlest on with me at first but he was well on his way to zzz.
I was there at the live ceremony and on camera (white shirt). But I felt really guilty afterwards - like I was intruding on all the Jukai participants of this year. My intent was not to intrude but to welcome all new participants and be 'there' with you all. Hopefully it wasn't deemed anything but that. It was profoundly beautiful and heartwarming.

Glad to have you. We had plenty of seats for everybody!
Anyway, anyone who already undertook Jukai can "retake" any number of times. Nothing more needed than to join the ceremony again.
