| In this retreat, we contemplate the refuges of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The first refuge symbolizes awareness and wakefulness, the second is the teachings orienting us to our nature, and the third is community - fellow travellers on the path. We explore what these mean in our lived experience as we face the significant challenges of our times. Particularly, the potential of these three refuges to ground and resource us in the midst of the complexities of the world, and the ways they provide a vessel of presence and wise response. |
