Hi,
Just a question about Jukai and thereafter. I notice that quite a few go by their Dharma names, while a number do not. I don't have any problem with it either way in my own case. I already have a lot of names. To my kids I'm Dad, to my grandkids I'm Papa, to my friends I'm John, and to my patients I'm Dr. (until I invite them to call me John). So I can either "change" my name after Jukai or not. But I'd appreciate input from any who'd be willing to offer your reasons.
