Refuge & Bodhisattva Vows Offered Oct. 4

Refuge Vows are open to anyone who wants to make a “formal” commitment to the Buddhist Path. The refuge vow marks the decision to commit oneself wholeheartedly to the Buddhist path and to further one’s practice and training. It is the formal commitment to being a Buddhist, following the example of the Buddha Shakyamuni, his teachings (the dharma), and joining the community (sangha) of fellow practitioners.  We strongly recommend that anyone who would like to take these vows attend the Refuge Vow Preparatory Class from September 13- 20th.

The prerequisite for the Bodhisattva Vow is having taken the refuge vow at least six months prior, and you must have approval from a senior meditation instructor.  We strongly recommend that anyone who would like to take these vows attend the Bodhisattva Vow Preparatory Class from September 15- 22nd.
