These Holy Day Observances are open to the public. TAKING REFUGE ~ When you decide to follow the Buddhist path, it is appropriate to take refuge. Refuge is taken in the Buddha (the Perfect Teacher), the Dharma (His Teaching), and the Sangha (the Accomplished Followers of the Perfect Teaching). There is a formal refuge ceremony in which you receive a Dharma (religious) name. Refuge is offered periodically upon request. If you are interested or have questions, email [email protected]. INITIATIONS ~ In general, when you decide to do a tantric practice (a tantric practice is one in which meditational deities are visualized), you must receive an initiation for that practice. The initiation permits you to do the practice at home and at the Monastery. Some practices have special restrictions, which are explained during the initiations. Receiving an initiation from a lama creates a special bond and commitment. For information on requesting or sponsoring an initiation, see Adrienne Chan.
