Refuge Ceremony by Lama Yeshe Rinpoche

We are delighted to announce that our precious Abbot, Choje Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, will be visiting Samye Dzong Cardiff on Sat 20th & Sun 21st July.

On 21st July, Lama Yeshe Rinpoche will bestow refuge to those wishing to become a Buddhist by taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. There will be an explanation of what it means to take refuge and what to expect in the ceremony, and there will also be an opportunity for those wishing to take precepts, or wish to renew their precepts.

2pm Explanation of Taking Refuge - With Gelongma Ani Lhamo

This talk will be an explanation of what it means to take refuge and what the refuge ceremony entails, as well as the meaning of taking precepts.The genuine sources of spiritual refuge are the Three Jewels: the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. The ultimate refuge is our own mind, our Buddhanature. There will be time for Q&A at the end of the talk.

The first formal step on the Buddhist path is taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and Lama Yeshe Rinpoche will give refuge to those who wish to become Buddhists. The ceremony is also open to those who wish to simply renew and strengthen their refuge vow or who wish to take precepts.

We very much look forward to welcoming Lama Yeshe Rinpoche again in Kagyu Samye Dzong Cardiff and we hope you will be able to join us at the event. Save the date!
