Shukke Tokudo | Priest Ordination Ceremony

Priest Ordination Ceremony
The Zen custom of priest ordination, called shukke tokudo — literally “leaving home, attaining the way” — is a ceremony of deep commitment to the Zen precepts, the Zen path, and the sangha.
During the ceremony, students make a lifetime commitment to put Zen practice first in their lives.
The Everyday Zen students who will be taking Shukke Tokudo are:
- Anne Johnson, On Shin Dai Ji (Profound Gift, Great Healing)
- Denise Newman, Myō Kai Gen Shin (Luminous Ocean, Inconceivable Intimacy)
- Lini Wollenberg, Daishin Seido (Great Heart, Pure Way)
- Pearl Kan, Honshō Mitsukyo (Original Voice Intimate Abode)
- Stefany Anne (Shuffy) Golberg, Myō-on Teishin (Wondrous Sound, Pervading Heart)
Please come sit and chant with us to support the ordainees as they take this joyous and momentous step!
You are welcome to join the ceremony in person or on Zoom.
