Is preceptive reception allowed only once in a lifetime?
A preceptive recipient is allowed to participate in ceremonies of
preceptive reception as much as circumstances make it possible.
Anytime, anywhere. Participation is permitted with a reverenced bhiksu
conferring. For, on reception of the precepts and discipline, we are
enabled to possess the inherent preceptive body, a consistent reminder
against breaking the precepts and violating the discipline and always
with the function in prevention of wrongdoings. A lot of Buddhist
practitioners do seek preceptive reception more than once or twice.
Normally, the initial conferrer is the preceptor and, in the learning
process, preceptive receptions thereafter are renewals of instructions
obtained from other reverends.
