2025 Refuge and Bodhisattva Vows Ceremony

By Alison Driscoll

The Refuge & Bodhisattva Vow ceremonies took place at Pawo Khandro Ling, The Wisdom Seat meditation hall, both live and online, on Sunday, September 28th.

Capably led by Michael Carroll, as preceptor, the ceremonies were uplifted and inspiring. Michael spoke about the view, practice, and conduct of each of the Refuge and Bodhisattva vow and prior to the ceremony spoke with each of those who took one or the other vow about their intention and aspirations. He shared numerous stories and remembrances of experiences with the Vidyadhara Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche to illustrate the difference these vows have made in his own life. After the ceremony family and friends gathered for a reception to celebrate those taking the vows.
