Temple Night & Jukai
Temple Night & Jukai
May 27, 2022 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Beginning around 7:00 Friday evening, you’re invited to join in our twice-a-year informal sitting in the Buddha Hall (right behind 5 Arnold Park). You are free to come and go, to sit anywhere, to join in chanting or to remain silent, and to make prostrations and offer incense at the altar, as you wish.
There will be a Jukai ceremony around 9:10 for anyone who would like to formally take the traditional Buddhist precepts. For this spring Jukai, nothing is required. You can just follow along.
Afterwards, you can sit late into the night if you like. Many people have found these late hours of Temple Night to be an especially fine time for zazen.
