Good morning!
We sit like the Buddha. The practice place is called Sen-butsu-jo, Selecting Buddha
Place.
When we sit, we become buddhas. The triple refuges mean giving the whole being to
Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.
Then only can we observe the triple pure vows, then the ten precepts. Ordination is
observing these sixteen precepts with one’s whole being.
If not observing them, we can not become buddhas, and our practice becomes
useless. Please sit upright giving your life to the true triple treasure.
