You are encouraged to talk with your meditation instructor if you are interested in taking this vow.
The refuge vow marks the decision to commit oneself wholeheartedly to the Buddhist path and to further one’s practice and training. Es el compromiso formal de ser budista., siguiendo el ejemplo del Buda Shakyamuni, sus enseñanzas (el dharma) y unirse a la comunidad (the sangha) de compañeros practicantes.
Taking Refuge is a step common to all Buddhist traditions. en nuestra tradicion, it further signifies taking refuge in our particular Kagyü, Nyingma and Shambhala lineages of teachings and teachers.
There is no charge for attending the class, but a cash teaching offering is traditional and much appreciated.
If you have any questions about the vow class, por favor contactar Colleen Roundhill.
