Description:
Taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha is considered an essential part of daily Buddhist practice.  While we may all recite the words daily, connecting to a deeper understanding of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha and taking refuge in these Three Jewels strengthens our sense of meaning in this practice and energizes all our other practices throughout the day.  During this weekend intensive, Geshe-la will gives extensive explanation of the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, the reasons why we take refuge in the first place and how connecting more deeply to the Three Jewels during recitation of refuge prayers increase our capacity for joy and continued spiritual growth in our daily lives.  This is an excellent opportunity for those new to Namgyal to receive teachings on this important aspect of Buddhist practice and for more experienced students to deepen their understanding of refuge, re-strengthen their vows and re-vitalize this practice.
