ORDINATION DAY

“The temple was filled with several hundred monks and nuns from all over the world and there was a palpable feeling of joy and rejoicing to be together again as an International ordained assembly.

“Just like an empowerment, during the ceremony 23 lay people dissolved into emptiness and 23 ordained sangha arose, wearing the 3 robes of ordination, with new names and holding the mind of renunciation.
