Full Moon Ceremony

This ceremony reminds us that enlightenment is enacted with Bodhisattva precepts, which are recited in a call and response format during the ceremony.  We enter the ceremony following two periods of zazen interspersed with walking meditation.  Whole-heartedly we celebrate the whole moon.  Everyone is invited to participate.
