Refuge Vow Ceremony

Taking the vow of Refuge is the first step onto the Buddhist path. Lama Pema and Lama Yeshe have offered this vow annually in May (except during pandemic times).

We will gather at 6 pm for a short period of calm abiding meditation. Then a very brief introduction will be given to the vow. Those wishing to take the vow will then come forward and the ceremony of stating one’s confidence in the six resources of refuge will unfold.

Beyond those wishing to receive the vow, those who wish to witness the ceremony are welcome to attend, as well as those wanting to internally renew their vow.

Registration is required for all those who wish to attend the vow ceremony. Please indicate if you intend to take the refuge vow when you register.
