Some 20 warriors took the lifetime oath as Dorje Kasung in mid-July at Shambhala Mountain Center, as the Sacred World Assembly drew to a close. Kasung Kyi Kyap Jesse Grimes and Dapon White and Master of the Court Mark Thorpe officiated the event, offering words of inspiration to the group of 50 Kasung. (There was so much khaki in the room, even the photo is khaki colored!)
After the oath ceremony, the lung was read for a special vajrayana practice for Kasung. Shambhala Online will host an online practice for this in August 2014. Stay tuned for details.
