01/20/2024, Kyoshin Wendy Lewis, dharma talk at City Center. This talk was given at Beginner's Mind Temple by Kyoshin Wendy Lewis before a jukai ceremony (precept ceremony) that was held in the afternoon. Receiving the Buddhist precepts, or ethical guidelines, is a celebration of commitment to a life of Zen practice and reflection. It is a statement of community or sangha values, accompanied by the ambiguities involved in defining community.
