'What a beautiful day at KMC Texas today! We started the day by taking 8 special precepts of moral discipline, followed by the purification practice of the 35 Confession Buddhas. Later in the morning a large gathering came for the Refuge Vow ceremony.
'To conclude a small group in a private ceremony took the vows of individual liberation, known as Pratimoksha. Such positive karma was created today which we dedicate for the enlightenment of all! Thank you to all who participated and volunteered to offer these amazing practices.'
