DALLAS TAKES THE ANAGARIKA PRECEPTS

Back to 2009 Gallery

Dallas, one of Venerable Chodron?s long time students and an Abbey resident, takes the first step towards ordination by taking the 8 anagarika precepts on June 30. The Abbey community is growing! May it continue to do so for many lifetimes to come.


The Abbey nuns do the honors of shaving Dallas? head to signify her
intent to subdue attachment.


Dallas sits quietly during the shaving ceremony.


Dallas and the monastic community lead the way for Venerable Chodron who will be the preceptor for Dallas.


Venerable Chodron snips the last lock of hair symbolizing the cutting off of attachment.


Venerable Chodron gives a teaching to Dallas on the
benefits of taking the precepts and how to use this
opportunity to deepen her renunciation.


Dallas makes lovely offerings of gratitude to Venerable.
