Recently, KMC France held a refuge vow ceremony and many of the community took part. Why was this day so precious? Taking refuge vows is the method by which we enter and progress on the Buddhist path. By taking these vows and observing them throughout our life, we gradually achieve the Dharma realizations of Sutra and Tantra. It is these spiritual realizations that are our true protection from suffering.
During the ceremony, Gen Eupamé guided us step by step, explaining the different levels of refuge, from the refuge of an ordinary being seeking protection from negative states of mind, to the refuge of a great being seeking enlightenment so as to be able to protect other living beings. It was a beautiful ceremony and a heartfelt experience of how our spiritual practice is strengthened by the practice of refuge.
