Refuge
Vow - Refuge is the door into the formal practice
of Buddhism. The Buddha said that practice has more merit
when done after taking refuge vows. Some teachers add that
when filling out forms one would write Buddhist for your
religion after the refuge vow.
One
takes refuge in the Buddha as the great teacher who showed
the way to full awakening
One
takes refuge in the dharma as the path of teachings that
leads to realization
One
takes refuge in the sangha as the great spiritual friends
who can help us on our journey
This
is a very good opportunity to take this vow with Khenpo
Gawang Rinpoche, a fully ordained monastic, experienced
Buddhist practitioner and Tibetan
Buddhist scholar.
Each person will be given a Refuge (Buddhist) name.
