Entering the Chapter House, Bearing Gifts
Here, we are entering the monastic chapter house where the ceremony will be held. In the white bags we each have six packets of betel to offer as gifts. We each will be assisted by an upajjhaya (preceptor) and two kammavacariyas (teachers) on the bhikkhuni side, and again on the bhikkhu side. | |

"Beings are owners of their actions, heirs of their actions; they originate from their actions, are bound to their actions, have their actions as their refuge. It is action that distinguishes beings as inferior and superior.”
