i Refuge Vows

June 26th 7pm
ii At Losang Dragpa Kadampa Buddhist Centre

The foundation of the Buddhist way of life is to go for refuge - to Buddha, to guide us along the spiritual path to enlightenment; to Dharma (Buddha’s teachings) to protect us from fear and suffering; and to Sangha (those practising Buddha’s teachings) to inspire us, show a good example and to help us along the path to inner peace.

In this ceremony Mick will explain the practice of refuge and grant the Refuge Vows. By taking these vows we commit ourselves to finding happiness from within by relying upon Buddha, Dharma and Sangha throughout our life. We enter the gateway to Buddhadharma and become a Buddhist.

By learning to keep the refuge commitments,we will easily gain protection from fear and harm, and in particular from strong delusions that prevent us from making progress on the path to enlightenment. For more information or to RSVP, contact the centre.
