You are cordially invited to attend the Ceremony of Lay Dharma Entrustment for Houston Zen Center member Dharma Moon Rick Mitchell.

In this ceremony, Rick Mitchell (Hogetsu Kenkai, Dharma Moon, Precept Song) will receive entrustment as a Lay Dharma Teacher from Abbot Gaelyn. Rick served as Shuso of the 2016 Practice Period and has been preparing for several years for the entrustment ceremony. He served the Houston sangha for many years (more than 20) before returning to the Pacific Northwest. He shares his practice with Dharma Rain Zen Center in Portland, Oregon. The ceremony will take place in the Zendo, with members of HZC, friends and family in attendance. A modest zoom access will be available. This ceremony acknowledges the importance and vitality of Lay Dharma leaders.
