Where Do You Find Refuge?
"We can find true refuge within our own hearts and minds – right here, right now, in the midst of our moment-to-moment lives." - Tara Brach, from True Refuge
In the midst of turmoil, we long for refuge from the storm. The Buddha teaches that we can find refuge in the Three Jewels of the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. Each of the jewels is a guidepost to help us learn to find refuge in our own wisdom and compassionate hearts. During this evening, we will remember where we have found refuge in difficult times, and what those experiences of refuge teach us about creating refuge, a sense of trust, ease, and freedom, when we are troubled. Please join us for a guided meditation, talk and community discussion.
