Precepts Ceremony and Completion Day of WKC

Precepts Ceremony and Completion Day of Winter Kyol Che

On January 12, 2025, at Hae Su Zen Center, Zen Master Dae Kwan conducted a Precepts Ceremony for a new cohort of 28 students committed to taking five precepts. This new generation is given dharma names prefixed by the word "Jin" (True).

It was very encouraging and surprising that among the disciples taking refuge this time, a 10-year-old girl joined our Dharma family too, becoming a "Little Dharma Fellow " of the "Jin" generation.

After lunch, on the 2024/25 Winter Kyol Che Completion Day, practitioners from various countries/cities — including Alaska, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong — shared their experiences from the retreat and encouraged each other to continue our practice and make stronger vows.

Let's look back on the solemn, joyful, and grateful moments of that day.

May we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all the sunims and volunteers who selflessly dedicated themselves during the three-month retreat, leaving everyone with a precious and unforgettable journey of practice.
