Jukai is the process and public ceremony of taking up the 16 precepts, committing to practicing them in everyday life.  People take jukai after some years of practicing with the community, establishing a relationship with one of the teachers, and taking part in sesshin. In this ceremony, people join the lineage, formally becoming a Zen Buddhist.
