If they truly resonate with you, then the next step is to become a Buddhist and begin the path of cultivation. Participating in the ceremony of taking refuge in the Three Jewels is the first, important step for anyone who wants to become a Buddhist. “\n– Master Sheng Yen\nTaking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha is more than a ritual. Seeking refuge marks the point where we decide to take the Dharma as the primary guide in conducting our lives.\nBy taking refuge, we are committing ourselves to learn from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Through practicing the Bodhisattva path, we can grow, improve ourselves, and realize inner wisdom and compassion.\nTo Learn More in Taking Refuge\nNotes:\n\nAll individuals above 6 years old are welcome.\n\n\nCheck in at 10:30 am\n\n\nWear tops with sleeves and loose-fitting bottoms.\n\n\nPick up your “Refuge in the Three Jewels” certification and gift after the ceremony. \n\nTo Register:  DDMBASF Center/Fremont – Please click here ( https://www.ddmbasf.net/allevents/RegistrationHome.asp?eventID=1020&lang=en )\n I want to donate/make an offering.
