Our 2013 Treeleaf Jukai (Undertaking the Precepts) Celebration is Here!
Congratulations to all. I had a wonderful time studying with you all and look forward to more of it. I am honored to be a part of this Sangha. Thanks everyone, thank you Jundo and Taigu.
Thank you, everyone. Thank you for your patience too. A couple of things I learned about Google+ tonight will help next year. I realized that I should have placed a second independent camera so both groups could have a good view of the Altar and ceremony. I apologize for that.
But the Ceremony was Perfectly-Imperfect, as all things around here ... in life. However, the Precepts were Perfectly Received!
Congratulations to all recieving the precepts and to all of us renewing them, moment by moment.
Thank you Jundo for a wonderfulceremony.
Gasho, Gassho, Gassho.

Thank you all, it was wonderful to participate in this years Jukai. A great experience. And, like Jundo, I learned a few things as well, such as making sure all of your equipment is operational in advance. Stupid webcam.
Gassho.

Thank you - Danke - to all who witnessed, to my sisters and brothers who took the precepts with me and their folks who were there (including my husband and my Unitarian lay chaplain!), and most of all to Jundo and Taigu for offering this wonderful opportunity!
