What Can We Put Our Trust In: Refuge in the Three Jewels
In Buddhism, our Refuge objects are called Jewels as each one is precious. These are Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. In this day retreat, participants will engage in 4 sessions that enable us to deepen our confidence in the 3 Jewels as reliable sources of protection. We will begin each session with prayers and the visualization of Buddha Shakyamuni, followed by a guided meditation on one of the 3 Jewels.
We ask participants to show up 10-15 minutes before the start of the retreat as we begin on time and want to maintain a quiet environment.
