1) Journey to Enlightenment: A Workshop with Gen Chöma
Saturday, March 17, 10:30am-2:00pm

Enlightenment is a state of perfect freedom, compassion and wisdom. In this course, we will learn the practice of going for refuge to the enlightened state, and how to live the life of a Bodhisattva, someone who is journeying towards enlightenment. We will also look at how to integrate these practices into our regular daily life. For those who wish, at the end of the workshop there will be a profound and beautiful ritual where we can formally go for refuge to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and receive the Bodhisattva vow, in which we decide to gradually make our life the life of a Bodhisattva.
