Buddhist initiation ritual

The Lay Buddhist Ordination (Chinese: 受戒; pinyin: shòujiè; Japanese pronunciation: Jukai; Korean: 수계; romaja: sugye) refers to the public ordination ceremony wherein a lay follower of Zen Buddhism receives certain Buddhist precepts.[1] The particulars of the ceremony differ widely by country and by school of Buddhism.
