This ceremony is one of the very oldest in Buddhism and is a good opportunity to practice traditional forms. It dates back to the time of the Buddha when the monks would gather on the night of the full moon to renew their vows. Our version includes cleansing ourselves and recommitting ourselves to the sixteen bodhisattva precepts.
