Jukai
Jukai is the process for studying, committing to and receiving the Sixteen Precepts of the Buddha in Zen Buddhism. It culminates in a Ceremony in which students receive their personal copy of the Sixteen Precepts, along with a certificate of Jukai from the Teacher, a certificate of the blood lineage of the ancestors from Shakyamuni to the student, and a symbolic lay robe called a rakusu. This Spring, 2020, Deep Ocean Zendo will have its first Class of Jukai starting February 21.
