Holding Triratna Refuge To Good Men And Believing Women In Tainan- Taiwan

In the evening of March 28th 2016, on a preaching tour at Taichung - Taiwan, Senior Venerable Thich Chan Tinh held transmit a Triratna ceremony and the Five Commandments to good men and believing women at Buddhist Luu Bich Van’s private house.

After the ritual of posting incense before  the\r\nBuddha, the venerable explained the meanings of taking refuge with the Triatna\r\nand benefits of practicing the Five Commandments. Also, he affirmed\r\nthat committing oneself to the Triratna is considered an important starting\r\npoint, an event marking a shift in a soul when one turns to and relies on\r\nBuddha, Dharma and Sangha.

The ceremony left the Buddhists abroad with a strong\r\nimpression, upholding their faith in the Three Precious Ones: Buddha, Dharma\r\nand Sangha, reminding them to frequently listen to the Dharma and cultivating the\r\nvirtues in order to improve themselves.

At the end of the refuge-taking ceremony, Venerable Thich\r\nChan Tinh guided such a few postures of a Buddhist as holding hands,\r\nbowing and kowtowing, etc., and reminded the Buddhists of the things they need\r\nto notice through Dharma presents “The Advice”.
