Taking Refuge in The 3 Jewels. Talk by Guo Gu

Participate in Chan meditation events and learn about our long (3-day and 7-day) in-person meditation retreats. Subscribe to learn more or visit our list of offerings at https://www.TallahasseeChan.org/events. "The Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma, Sangha – is your true nature, and the most important thing you can do in your life is to activate this true nature…foster it and bring it to fruition." Guo Gu Ordinarily, people take refuge in fame, power, money, and beauty—ephemeral and transient things that are unpredictable and unreliable. Taking refuge in the Three Jewels means aligning oneself with the nature of the Buddha—awakening; the Dharma—how things truly are, free from our notions and ideas; and the Sangha—purity from greed, hatred, and delusion. On the first and third Monday of each month, Guo Gu offers teachings on the practice of Chan Buddhism. In this session, he continues his series on the Chan Liturgy—exploring the chants, prayers, and offerings that are integral to our practice. Join us on Mondays from 6:30-8:00PM Eastern.
