Event Description

We all have a transcendental nature, a spiritual dimension to our being. We experience it whenever we feel a moment of love for another being, a sense of inner peace, a moment’s joy. In those moments we are connecting with the pure nature of our mind, the potential within us for limitless love, peace, and joy. In a world of so much suffering and conflict, the key to a happy and meaningful life is to develop the ability to seek refuge in our transcendental nature; to connect with it, develop it and share it with everyone in our life and in our world. In Buddhism we call this going for refuge.

In this course Gen Tenzin will explain the Buddhist objects of refuge, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and how through learning to rely on them we connect with our pure nature. He will also show how to integrate this practice into our daily life. In this way we find protection from suffering, lay the foundation for happiness, and open the door to future enlightenment. This course will include, for those who wish, a beautiful and blessed refuge ceremony whereby we formally take refuge in Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Everyone welcome.
