A Tao Receiving Ceremony was held on July 8, 2000 with the help of our Advanced Class members. It was the first time they dressed up so "formally" to conduct offering ritual, and they all enjoyed learning and conducting offering rituals (You can tell that from their happy faces in the following photo taken after the ceremony). Professor Maher said he learns more from conducting the ritual than listening to a lecture because the ritual itself has profound meaning beyond words.
