Yesterday was the 25th Anniversary of my monastic ordination. A time of expressing gratitude for the opportunity to practice and for my Masters Great Compassion. It was also an auspicious day to administer the Precepts in the ceremony of lay ordination.
Giving the small kesa.
Congratulations to Mike on formally receiving the Precepts and becoming a lay Buddhist within our Order.
Kind wishes to you both. Smoke drifts from the incense.
With bows
