REFUGE VOW

“In the Buddhist tradition, taking refuge is a matter of commitment and acceptance and, at the same time, of openness and freedom. By taking the refuge vow, we commit ourselves to freedom.” —Чогьям Трунгпа, Ринпоче.

Обет прибежища – древний, традиционная церемония принятия буддиста. It is a turning point in one’s life, and is both a proclamation and a celebration. Taking this vow is formally entering the lineage of the Buddha.

It is recommended to take a Refuge Vow Class prior to taking the vow.

There are no costs involved with taking the vow, but it is traditional to offer a heart gift for the preceptor.

BODHISATTVA VOW

Посадка такого семени, как обет бодхисаттвы, подрывает эго и приводит к огромному расширению перспективы.. Такой героизм, или широта ума, полностью заполняет все пространство, крайне, абсолютно. В такой обширной перспективе, nothing is claustrophobic and nothing is intimidating. There is only the vast idea of unceasingly helping all sentient beings, as limitless as space, along the path to enlightenment…

—Чогьям Трунгпа Ринпоче

Обет Бодхисаттвы – это дальнейшее обязательство., после принятия обета прибежища, ставить других превыше себя и от всего сердца трудиться на благо всех. The basis of this vow is the aspiration to develop friendliness, сострадание, and genuine insight through the practice of the six paramitas – щедрость, дисциплина, терпение, exertion, медитация, and prajna. If you are interested in taking the Bodhisattva Vow, please have taken refuge at least six months prior, and have approval from a meditation instructor.

Potential vow-takers should arrange to have a conversation with their Meditation Instructor well ahead of time to ascertain readiness for this powerful step. It is also recommended to take a Bodhisattva Vow class prior to taking the vow.

There are no costs involved with taking the vow, but it is traditional to offer a heart gift for the preceptor.
