In our OzZen sangha, when receiving the precepts, recipients also give a Jukai talk, reflecting on their experience of studying the precepts in the monthly study group over the past year.  Recipients are encouraged to personalise their experiences.

Jukai talk, by Louise Cranny

Lucky Break -spookymadeit

lyrics: 
i told myself don't fold today
don't go that way
the course i stay
for strength i pray
i know the way
the rest just put it all on me
depressed but still got mouths to feed
the pressure only to succeed
offensive, when im in the lead
defensive i got enemies
my friends say they believe in me
i still don't know what i believe
i put my emotions on the beat
if you don't like it you can leave
i still lack common empathy
but for you girl you know i grieve
.....

for strength i pray
that's all i need
for strength i pray
that's all i need
the rest just put it all on me
for strength i pray
that's all i need
for strength i pray
that's all i need
for strength i pray
that's all i need
the rest just put it all on me
for strength i pray
that's all i need

i told myself don't fold today
don't go that way
the course i stay
for strength i pray
i know the way
the rest just put it all on me

sunshine or rain
hardships to gain
i remain the same
for the strength i pray

for strength i pray
that's all i need
for strength i pray
that's all i need
the rest just put it all on me
for strength i pray
that's all i need
for strength i pray
that's all i need
for strength i pray
that's all i need
the rest just put it all on me
for strength i pray
that's all i need
