Refuge Vow Ceremony with Lama Palden Drolma

Thursday, March 6, 2025
6:30 – 8 pm Pacific time
In Person and Online

The Refuge Ceremony goes back to the time of the Buddha. It is a ceremony where we formally make a vow to turn our body, speech and mind towards awakening - towards our true nature or buddha nature. The Refuge Ceremony gives us a space to formally set our intention and commitment to turn toward awakening, for the benefit of ourselves and all sentient beings, and to rely on the path of teachings and practices embodied in the lineages of the Buddha. 

The vow enters your mind stream to serve as a strong reminder of what you most value, sending you back to what truly helps when the going gets rough and you are tempted away from living your deepest values.

This ceremony is for those taking refuge for the first time as well as those wishing to renew their vows. All are welcome to witness and support those taking or renewing their vows.
