Jundo and Taigu,
Thank you so much for teaching us - and thank you to all who participated today - because of - or due to - the "sound and small issues" we had a genuine and heartfelt jukai ceremony in which all who participated felt bound together by our commitment ..... Dokan did a wonderful job of prompting .... John did a great job of reciting for all, and we typed back and forth on Justin TV bringing one another along.

Congratulations all

Gassho,
Yugen

[Ekai]

Thank you Jundo, Taigu, Jukaiis, and Jukaiis supporters! I really feel the technical issues made the experience better and bonded us together even more. It encouraged more awareness and showed how strong our committment is in our hearts and mind for this practice, our teachers and fellow Sangha members.

Yup.

When John finally came on and started shouting (well, to me it was shouting, I had to have my speakers cranked up) the Verse of the Kesa I started laughing and sort of crying at the same time. What can I say, it was emotional somehow.

[Hogen]

in some ways, struggling to listen made me more attentive.

[Shohei]

Congratulations all!

Glad to be a witness

Hats off to Dokan for his quick typing and thinking!

Beautifully put Hogen! Struggling to hear(and be heard) certainly brought me more into the present moment!

Gassho,

[Kyonin]

Congratulations to all!

Yes, sound was very low. I had to read all through.

@Nenka: Yes I got super emotional on the Precepts. I couldn't say I WILL on a couple.

[Dokan]

That's brilliant...makes me so happy to see such passion for the dharma.

Gassho,

Dokan

PS - I am downloading the video now and will amplify the volume so that you guys can go back and re-listen to it. I will post back up here when I have it done.

The part that struck me the most was the last about going and living this life. With those words I felt a strong connection to all of you because we are all so far apart and trying to find some way to be together while living this life.

Thank you Taigu, Jundo and Treeleaf

+1.

i truly found a connectedness with all of you today. watching past participants struggle to transcribe to help us out, watching initiates like myself on webcam doing prostrations...it was all very moving.

[Shujin]

Congratulations, y'all!

Beautifully said and I couldn't agree more

Congratulations everyone!

[Taigu]

Bless you all!
It was a very touching ceremony.
I managed to catch Fugen and Daido on skype at the end before bed or another cup of tea or coffee.

I could not tune into the live Jukai on Sunday so I have been trying to watch "Jukai 2012:The Movie" but with great frustration. I get one or teo words and then about 6-10 seconds of silent stillness. The first 20 seconds of the "movie" took about 3 minutes and I really did not understand much of what was said because of the long delays.

Gassho,
