7:30 pm

The refuge vow marks the decision to commit oneself wholeheartedly to the Buddhist path and to further one’s practice and training.  It is the formal commitment to being a Buddhist, following the example of the Buddha 
Shakyamuni, his teachings (the dharma) and joining the community (sangha) of fellow practitioners.

Individuals wishing to take the Refuge vow should meet with their Meditation Instructor about this decision and study the Refuge Vow Sourcebook (available from Samadhi Cushions (http://www.samadhicushions.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=sourcebook).

Please also read the chapter "Taking Refuge" in Chogyam Trunpa's Heart of the Buddha.
