Taking Refuge

Ready to call yourself a Buddhist? One evening on what refuge means and how to prepare for the March 21 ceremony.

Taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha is the step where you decide to walk the Buddhist path. This evening looks at what refuge means, why Buddhists turn to these Three Jewels, and how refuge shapes your practice from day to day. We'll talk about what changes when you take refuge and what doesn't, and leave plenty of time for your questions. If you'd like to formally take Refuge Vows, this class prepares you for the ceremony on Sunday, March 21. Taking the vows is your choice, and you're welcome whether or not you plan to. When: Wednesday, March 17, 2027 Where: Rime Buddhist Center, Northmoor Price: $15 Facilitator: Lama Matthew Palden Gocha Included in the Winter Pass and the 2027 Path Cohort. No one is turned away for lack of funds. If the price is a barrier, contact [email protected] and we'll work it out together.
