Gyuto Vajrayana Center - So-jong Confession Ceremony

So-jong Confession Ceremony

35 Confession Buddhas

Traditionally, based on the lunar calendar every fifteen days all the Monasteries and Nunneries held a confession ceremony to restore the broken pledges and reaffirm their vows. 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.
