Go Ahead and Take Those Vows
The image is a scan of my teaching rakusu. A rakusu is a traditional zen garment worn around your neck and over your clothes. In zen tradition it’s common to receive your rakusu during a ceremony after you have taken your Buddhist vows consisting of the The Ten Grave Precepts. Every dharma practice includes the taking of ethical vows. The garment is different with every dharma practice.
The Ten Grave Precepts are:
No killing
No stealing
No misusing sex
No lying
No misusing alcohol
No speaking about others faults of others
No praising of yourself or abusing others
No sparing of the dharma assets
No indulging in anger
No slandering of the Three Treasures
FUKE is an alliance of Dharma Artists. Participation in FUKE includes regular meditation practice and taking vows.
