About This Event
Sewing each stitch we recite, “I take refuge in the Buddha, I take refuge in the Dharma, I take refuge in the Sangha.”
Taking refuge in the Buddha Family is “receiving the precepts.”
This weekly rakusu sewing workshop is an important preparation for the Jukai recipients for the Jukai Ceremony on November 15, 2025. A rakusu is “bib-like” garment worn around the neck, symbolizing the Buddha’s robe. If you are not able to finish your rakusu, you must finish it at home. You have two months prior to the Jukai Ceremony to finish the rakusu and be guided if you need help by Kashin in any sewing questions.
Anyone who wants to donate, help or repair their rakusu are all welcome.
“We are going back to the root of our origin and once again share the Jukai ceremony with our great sangha.”
When: Five Tuesday evenings on May 27, June 3,…
