Ordination of Jogen Salzberg


On December 10, 2006, Jogen Salzberg was ordained as a novice priest. The ordination was given by Chozen and Hogen Bays, and took place at Great Vow Zen Monastery.

 

 

During the ceremony Jogen made repentence for past misdeeds. He took the 16 Bodhisattva Vows and ZCO's novice priest vows.

Here Jogen receives his O-kesa, the formal outer robe of the Zen school.
