On March 22, 2026, our sangha gathered to witness something beautiful.
Jukai is the ceremony in which students formally receive the Buddhist precepts — a deep and joyful commitment to the path of practice. It is at once intimate and expansive: a personal vow made in the presence of community, teacher, and all beings.
We are honored to celebrate all the Jukai students who took this step: Alayo Bascome, Owen Bell, Kyle Butler, Mark Graham, Chetan Khanna, Errol King, Lila Livingston, Dorotea Mendoza, Pat Mohr, Steven Oliver, Alex Sarkissian, Charlie Schneider, Graham Schneider, Vipassana Vijayarangan, and Cat Von Holt.
Their dedication and sincerity are an inspiration to all of us.
Please enjoy a few glimpses from the day, captured by our sangha photographers, Clare Maxwell, Ian Pereia Miles, Steven Oliver, Mimi Rosenfeld, Sarah Sensei, and Vipassana Vijayarangan:












































































































































With gratitude to everyone who was present, and to those who helped make the day so meaningful.
