This three session online course explores the moment in a person’s life when they decide to “be Buddhist”— formally, durch die Praxis, ein Gelübde abzulegen. Wenn Sie darüber nachdenken, das Zufluchtsgelübde abzulegen, this course will help you understand what you would be committing to, and the benefits of doing so. Es steht allen offen, die sich für das Refuge Vow interessieren, or anyone who would like to reconnect with their original inspiration for taking this vow.

The Refuge Vow has been part of the Buddhist path for centuries. Das Ablegen eines Gelübdes in einer formellen Zeremonie ist eine Möglichkeit, unsere Absicht festzulegen und einen tiefen Samen des Strebens nach der Entfaltung unseres spirituellen Weges zu säen. Das Zufluchtsgelübde markiert die Entscheidung, sich voll und ganz dem buddhistischen Weg zu widmen und seine Praxis und Ausbildung fortzusetzen. It is the formal commitment to being a Buddhist, following the example of the Buddha Shakyamuni, seine Lehren (der Dharma), and joining the community (sangha) of fellow practitioners.

Session 1—What is the Refuge Vow? 

Session 2—A personal exploration of why one would consider taking the Refuge Vow—or has already taken it

Session 3—A deeper exploration of the “three jewels” (Buddha, dharma, sangha)—a key aspect of the Refuge Vow

This online course will support you in learning about and considering the Refuge Vow, and we can suggest in-person opportunities for taking the vow should you wish. After taking the Refuge Vow and a period of further practice, the Bodhisattva Vow can be explored as a further expression of commitment to the Buddhist path.

Taking the Refuge Vow is a powerful moment on a Buddhist practitioner’s path. Join us and discover whether this is the right moment for you—or use this as a powerful opportunity to connect with your original inspiration for this moment on your personal spiritual path.
