Refuge: Supreme Protection for the Mind

When things go wrong in life, we naturally seek help and refuge in things and people, which usually only provide temporary relief; but new problems inevitably arise. What if we could escape from all suffering permanently?

Buddhist aim is exactly this, and to accomplish this extraordinary aim, we rely upon things that are beyond suffering, The Three Jewels: Buddha, the omniscient doctor; Sangha, the kind spiritual nurses; and Dharma, the actual medicine that cures our suffering permanently.

This practical workshop includes helpful instruction and guided meditations to learn how to employ Buddhist refuge in meditation and daily life to make your life the path of liberation!

Each session includes practical instruction, guided meditation, and time for questions. No previous experience is necessary, and absolutely everyone is welcome!
