One aspect of ordination training is reflecting on your practice and communicating it to those who are supporting you. As part of this process, we invite you to write an Annual Practice Review. We typically do this every fall, though you can do it anytime. As a team, we find these reviews helpful for getting to know you and your practice as it is currently unfolding. If you are new to the ordination training process, you may wish to attend a few retreats before you write a review.

 

Please refer to our region's Ordination Training Handbook. Here, you'll find information about practice reviews on page 10. The appendixes also offer three different approaches. Please note that this document has been updated with the Eight Guidelines for ordination training. 

If this is your first time writing a practice review, you may find it helpful to talk it through with an Order member who knows you well. Please email your practice review to the Ordination Team at alokasetu@gmail.com and include your name and date in the file name. Practice reviews are generally kept confidential and are shared only with Order members working on the GFR Retreats and the Public Preceptor kula. We encourage you to share it with the Order members supporting you in your ordination training process (such as your preceptor, kalyana mitras, and ordination kula, if you have them at this point in your process).

​

Thank you for sharing yourselves with us. We look forward to the continued deepening of our friendship and to going for refuge together with each of you.

 

May you be continually inspired by the Three Jewels!
