Going for Refuge

‘Going for Refuge represents your positive emotional response - in fact your total response - to the spiritual ideal when that ideal is revealed to your spiritual vision. Such is its appeal that you cannot but give yourself to it.’ Going for Refuge

The central act of the Buddhist life is Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels of Buddhism. It is more than recitation of an old formula, there is a turning about of one’s whole being, a revelation, a love that outshines all lesser loves.  This retreat will breathe life into your understanding and feeling for what Going for Refuge really means.  We will see how our Going for Refuge has expressed itself, and will express itself, in all its dimensions.
