Taking Refuge
Taking refuge in Buddhism is a crucial practice for those who aspire to follow the Buddhist path. It involves making a formal commitment to the Buddha, his teachings (Dharma), and the community of Buddhist practitioners (Sangha).
To take refuge in Buddhism, one must first comprehend and embrace the fundamental principles of Buddhism, including the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. These teachings serve as the bedrock of Buddhist philosophy and practice.
Typically, taking refuge is done through a ceremony led by a Buddhist teacher or monk. The ceremony may entail reciting specific prayers or vows, making offerings, and receiving a blessing.
Once an individual has taken refuge, they become a Buddhist and are considered a part of the global community of Buddhist practitioners. This commitment involves adhering to the precepts of Buddhism, such as refraining from harmful behavior, cultivating compassion and wisdom, and striving to live in harmony with all beings.
Taking refuge in Buddhism is a significant milestone on the path to enlightenment and can provide a solid foundation for one’s spiritual journey. It is essential to approach this practice with sincerity, humility, and a willingness to learn and grow.
In summary, taking refuge in Buddhism is a profound and transformative experience that requires a deep understanding and acceptance of Buddhist principles. It is a commitment to a way of life that emphasizes compassion, wisdom, and harmony with all beings.
It is often not possible for someone who lives far away from USA to come in person to take refuge with the guru. Those students who desire to take refuge can, on the first or fifteenth of any lunar month, at 7:00am, while facing the direction of the rising sun, recite three times the Fourfold Refuge Mantra:
“Namo guru bei, namo Buddha ye, namo dharma ye, namo sangha ye” and prostrate three times.
On the first or fifteenth of every lunar month, at True Buddha Tantric Quarter, a True Buddha Master performs a ceremony of “remote initiation empowerment” – to give empowerment to all the students who could not journey in person.
A student who takes refuge from a distance, after performing the rites at home, only needs to send a letter to the True Buddha Tantric Quarter stating that he/she is seeking refuge, together with his/her name, address, age, and small fee for making offerings to the Buddhas. Upon receiving the letter, True Buddha school will send a certificate, a picture of Living Buddha Lian-sheng, and a note stating the level of practice he/she should start with.
