Preparation for taking refuge

What determines oneself a Buddhist is when one voluntarily takes refuge in the Buddha, dharma and sangha from one´s heart. This is a personal choice that can be made after having gained foundational understanding of the Buddha´s teachings. When one reaches a point where one decides to follow the Buddhist path as a Buddhist, then that decision is established firmly and strongly in one’s mind by formally taking refuge from a qualified master who upholds the unbroken lineage of refuge.

The evening session will present the purpose, meaning and benefits as well as the commitments of taking refuge. This session is recommended for those who wish to formally take refuge, as well as for those who haven´t yet made a definite decision but would like to understand more about what it means to take refuge.
