So-Jong Confession Ceremony PDF Print E-mail

deity_images/35-Confession-Buddhas.jpg
Traditionally So-jong is the act of following one day 'lay' precepts and is a purification ritual. Buddhists follow So-jong on holy days, and full, half and new moon days. The precepts are the same as monastic precepts, except instead of taking them for life, the practitioner takes them one day at a time. They are a very effective way to help train the body and speech of a lay practitioner, which will help with one's meditation practice.

Doing the So-jong practice is one of the three duties of monks and nuns. (The other two are yarne, the summer retreat, and gaye, the ceremony at the conclusion of the summer retreat.) All the Sangha members welcome to join the ceremony but lay members not required to do this practice.
