Learn about these two central vows for committing to the Buddhist path.
Taking the Refuge Vow is taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. It is a ceremony where one makes a formal commitment to follow the path of the Buddha in one's life.
With the Bodhisattva Vow, we expand our commitment and vow to help all sentient beings.
This program will be beneficial to both beginners and people who already have taken vows and want to enter more deeply into them. If you would like an interview with Lama Yeshe on Saturday morning, please contact Matt Willis at the contact info below.

Lama Yeshe Gyamtso completed two three-year retreats during the 1980s at Kagyu Thubten Chöling under the guidance of Kyapje Kalu Rinpoche and Lama Norlha Rinpoche. He has since been teaching and translating for many great masters, including His Holiness the Seventeenth Karmapa and Bardor Tulku Rinpoche.

Learn about these two central vows for committing to the Buddhist path. Taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha is a ceremony where one makes a formal commitment to follow the path of the Buddha in one's life—becoming a Buddhist. With the Refuge Vow, we make a commitment to the path of sanity in our own lives. With the Bodhisattva Vow we expand our commitment and vow to help all sentient beings. This program will be beneficial to both beginners and people who already have taken vows and want to enter more deeply into them. Upon request there will be interviews with Lama Yeshe on Saturday morning. Go here for details. |
