Ceremony of Transmission of the Bodhisattva Precepts.
We are pleased to announce that the next 3 In November we will celebrate one of the most significant ceremonies for our community, the Ceremonia de Toma de Precepts of Bodhisattva, in Orito. This event marks the formal welcome of new members to the Sangha of the Soto Zen Camino Medio Community, and it is a moment of great spiritual importance.
What is the Taking of Bodhisattva Precepts?
La Toma de Precepts of Bodhisattva es un paso fundamental en el camino budista. During this ceremony, los practicantes hacen votos solemnes para seguir el camino del Bodhisattva, a being who has decided to dedicate himself to the well-being of all sentient beings, postponing his own enlightenment to help others achieve freedom from suffering.
Estos preceptos no son reglas estrictas, but guides that reflect the intention to live with compassion, wisdom and commitment to practice. New members of the community agree to follow these principles, recognizing the suffering of beings and dedicating themselves to alleviating it.
Importance of the Event
This ceremony is a moment of profound personal and collective transformation. It not only represents an individual commitment to the spiritual path, but also an affirmation of unity within our Sangha. Al tomar los preceptos, New members are welcomed at the Soto Zen Camino Medio Community, establishing a deeper connection with our tradition and with your fellow practitioners.
We invite the entire community to participate and celebrate this important step. Es una oportunidad única para renovar nuestro propio compromiso con el camino del Bodhisattva y para apoyar a aquellos que ahora empiezan a dar sus primeros pasos. Together, as Sangha, we walk the path of awakening.
