Introduction to Refuge

Following Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom on April 21st

Each spring (except during the height of the pandemic), the lamas have offered the vow of refuge. At KSC, the ceremony* is preceded by a presentation of the purpose of taking the vow, which is considered the first formal step onto the Buddhist path. Lama Pema’s talk will also include descriptions of the six refuge resources of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, as well as details about the ceremony itself.

*The Refuge Ceremony will be held in the KSC Sanctuary on Thursday, May 12th, 6 – 7:30 pm. Those taking the vow must be present in-person.
