Hello, dear sangha
On Wednesday, August 30th, on the day of the full ("Blue/Super") moon, we get together again to be reminded of the Precepts, to recommit to them and to atone for past misdeeds, as it has been the custom since the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, within the Sangha. This ceremony in Soto Zen is called Ryaku Fusatsu.
The history of the monthly full moon ceremony is explained HERE
To find your local time, please check the Treeleaf calendar, which can be found HERE
The Ryaku Fusatsu ceremony will be held in the Meeting Room, which can be found HERE
You can also join our livestream if you do not wish to be on camera or participate at a later time, whenever it is better for you, with the recording, which you will find here:
The ceremony is easy to follow along with, so please download the booklet for it HERE
If you wish to participate, you'll also need a vessel with water and a leaf, or something you can sprinkle yourself with when the moment arrives.
We hope you can join us! All are welcome to attend or participate, having received the Precepts or not. We look forward to seeing you there!
