Hi all, thanks for all the replys on my previous post (Who am I) I understand a lot better now.

My next question is, can someone take the Bodhisattva precepts alone, in front of an image of the Buddha?

I've been following zen for about 5 years, but because of where I live, its difficult to actually attend a Sangha (Other than this 1 :P ). I have wanted to receive the precepts for a long long time, but, like I said, its difficult as theres no sangha's near me.

So, basically, can I take the precepts alone, or is it really required to have a (preceptor ?) give them to me?

Thanks very much.

Steve

Namaste
