Mahayana Refuge Ceremony

Taking the Mahayana refuge vows means that with the recognition of the dangers of lower or samsaric rebirth,  compassion for all those trapped in samsara, and faith in the Three Jewels, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, we make the determination to always seek refuge by receiving Buddha’s blessings,  putting Dharma into practice, and receiving help from Sangha.

This refuge ceremony is open to everyone who wishes to take  or renew their refuge vows, or simply to receive blessings. Includes brief explanation and meditation and chanted prayers and offerings.

Please bring a small offering.
