Take Formal Refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, Renew your Vows or Witness the Ceremony
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 and rely on the path of teachings and practices embodied in the lineages of the Buddha. The vow enters your mindstream 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.
Audience: This ceremony is for those taking refuge for the first time as well as those renewing their vows.
Cost: Suggested donation is a sliding scale $25 - $108, which includes dana for the center and for Lama Döndrup.
Registration deadline: Please register by January 5th at 5 pm Pacific. We are not able to take registrations after this time.

Teacher: Lama Döndrup is the Resident Lama of Sukhasiddhi Foundation and oversees the curriculum and offerings at Sukhasiddhi, in collaboration with the lamas and dharma leaders on the teachers council. Lama Döndrup has practiced and studied in the Buddhist tradition for over twenty years. After five years of Theravadin Buddhist training, she immersed herself in the teachings and practices of the Shangpa and Kagyu Vajrayana lineages.
