Receiving the precepts (jukai) is a significant aspect of Zen training where a student, surrounded and supported by their teacher and sangha, commits to a life guided by the ethical teachings of Buddhism. The ceremony of jukai itself includes the taking of refuge in the Three Treasures, the Three Pure Precepts, and the Ten Grave Precepts.

Listen to and join in as Zuisei guides, and the Ocean Mind Sangha supports, Brian Ryusan Pontolilo in receiving the precepts.

This talk was given by Zuisei Goddard.
