The 3rd Three-Jewel Refuge ceremony in 2025
Update: 16/11/2025
Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is extremely important, marking the time a person officially becomes a Buddhist. From now, all attendees have entered a Dharma house, getting a good spiritual path for their life. Therefore, the Refuge Ceremony was held very seriously and took place all day.
After registering in the morning, participants came to the lecture halls to learn the right demeanor when coming to the pagoda, such as the manner of clasping their hands, greeting, prostrating, etc.,... these are very necessary and important rules, because not everyone also has conditions to learn these rules. Next, Junior Thich Tam Truong explained thoroughly the purpose, meaning of Three Refuge and Five precepts, the necessary knowledge to become a Buddhist.
The ceremony officially took place in the presence of all Sangha at the pagoda in the afternoon. Covered by ignorance drifting in six realms from beginning to end, no one avoids making mistakes and sinful things, therefore, each of us should recognize our faults and vow not to repeat them, purify body and mind, and completely turn to goodness when becoming a Buddhist. On this occasion, the Master created conditions for the disciples to repent and help purify three karmas before entering the sacred moment, officially becoming a Buddhist. On behalf of pagoda monks, Most Thich Chan Tinh transferred Three refuge and Five Precepts for all attendees. Next, he had some instruction, and encouragement words to new Buddhists.
The ceremony ended in joy for everyone. Before leaving the temple, Buddhists were given Certificate of Three-Jewel Refuge, and dharma books by the Organizers.
