Are there any personal prerequisites to participate in our Ti Sarana Ceremony?
There are no formal prerequisites required of our Ti Sarana participants. Having a Ti Sarana Ceremony should not be viewed as any kind of ending goal or final capping of one’s spiritual resolution but rather as the beginning of one’s deep commitment to living the Buddhist teachings. D.T. Suzuki mentioned three qualities that a person must have to walk the Buddhist Path successfully. These three qualities could also be considered the necessary prerequisites for our Ti Sarana Ceremony. The first prerequisite is sincerity; the second prerequisite is sincerity; and the third prerequisite is sincerity.
