About The Event
What we do, in fact, when we Go for Refuge to the Three Jewels is to develop our ability to respond to higher values. The Three Jewels aren’t something ‘out there’, actually existing and separate from us, even though when we are really struck by them that’s what it feels like. The Three Jewels exist for us insofar as we are able to respond to something higher, something beyond ourselves - a sense of the qualities of the Buddha, the beauty and clarity of the Dharma or maybe the ethical practice of another person who is a bit further along the path than we are. Sangharakshita calls this a ‘total response’ in that it is deeply and emotionally felt, as well as a feeling of clarity and understanding. ~ Vajratara
This retreat will cover the centrality of Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels, what it means, how it transforms…
