Hi All,

It’s the full moon and I just wanted to ask you all if there is a Treeleaf tradition for marking it.

In Suzuki Roshi’s lineage, in which I took the precepts, there is a monthly Full Moon Ceremony: essentially, repentance and restating one’s commitment to the precepts. I perform this ritual solo every month on the morning of the full moon.

But is there a Treeleaf way?

I find the ritual a great way of reminding myself of the precepts. It strengthens and reinforces my practice no end. It also provides a space for reflection each month – an examination of how I have drifted away from my precept practice and a reminder to return to it.

If there is a specific Treeleaf ritual? I’d like to explore it.

Deep bows,
Soen
