Good news – Refuge Ceremonies at Samye Ling this summer!!!
After a long absence from public engagements due to the pandemic, we are delighted to let you know that our Abbot, Lama Yeshe Rinpoche will conduct a (face to face) Refuge Ceremony this summer.
He has been abroad in South Africa for many months and is making the long journey back to Scotland for several reasons including his wish to honour the good intentions of the many people who have not had the opportunity to take Refuge for almost three years now.
To make sure that everyone who wishes to take Refuge will have a chance, there will be two ceremonies, one on Thursday 4th August and another on Sunday 14th August.
The exact schedule for each day has not been fixed yet but we hope there will be a short explanatory talk and then the ceremony itself. Both are likely to be in the morning.
The ceremonies are mainly intended for people who wish to take Refuge for the first time. However, those who wish to renew or confirm their Refuge commitment are also welcome. And both new ‘Refugees’ and old will be able to take precepts.
****We may organise a group travelling from Dublin for Refuge on 4th August – if you are interested please email us on info@buddhism.ie****
If you would like to take Refuge (for the first time) please send an email with your name to reception@samyeling.org. Also please include the date of the ceremony you wish to attend.
If you are renewing Refuge and/or taking precepts then there is no need to contact us at present.
**** Please note this event will be happening in Samye Ling, Scotland (not Dublin!) – all bookings must go through Samye Ling!!!!****
