Please join us for the Novice Priest ordination of Jakuen de la Paz. For the last year, Jakuen has been unfolding the Way in our temple community as a Postulant, one who has set out an intention to consider living the life of a Priest. This Sunday, he will pass through another gate, committing to on-going practice, study, training, and service as a Novice Priest. This ceremony is not only a great encouragement for the ordainee, but for the entire Sangha.

How shall I live?  This is the most fundamental of spiritual questions.  One aspect of our response to this question is ethics.  What should and should not be done?  The Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts represent our aspiration to live an ethical life and our commitment to the continual inquiry that such a life demands.
