Mahayana Refuge Vow Ceremony
June 15 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Refuge is the gateway to entering Buddhism and increases our wish to gain freedom from suffering for both ourself and others.
Through participating in this beautiful ceremony, a natural extension of our current Sunday series, we express our commitment to seek refuge in the Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma and Sangha – in order to liberate ourselves permanently from all fears and suffering, so that we may become someone who can help others do the same.
When we go for refuge to the Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma and Sangha – we enter into the Buddhist family.
Buddha is the source of all teachings and blessings, Dharma is the realization of Buddha’s teachings, and Sangha is the pure Dharma practitioners who help us with our spiritual practice.
Dharma is like medicine that prevents the sufferings of the three lower realms, Buddha is the doctor who gives us this medicine, and the Sangha are the nurses who assist us.
Everyone welcome!
Please join us after the ceremony for our beginning of Summer Garden Party from 1-3pm.
