Going for Refuge (GFR20) - cancelled

“As a Buddhist you're drawn to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, confident that these represent the ultimate values of life, that they symbolise humanity’s highest goal.  Being intent upon the three Jewels in this way brings a clarity to the mind over and above whatever pleasure you may or may not feel” (Sangharakshita: Living with Kindness)

This retreat centres around Sangharakshita’s vision of the act of Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels as being the “central and definitive act of the Buddhist life”. We will explore the levels and dimensions of this act and try to clarify for ourselves what’s of the highest value to us as individuals.
