Refuge is considered the foundation of the path to liberation, the basis of all vows, the source of all enlightened qualities and the point of differentiation between buddhists and non-buddhists. Together with generating Bodhichitta, it forms the foundation for accomplishing the level of complete enlightenment and the source of all that is positive in existence and peace.

Refuge is one of the preliminaries to Mahamudra practice and is the second in a series of teachings from Drupon Rinchen Dorje. Drupon Dorje will be teaching Refuge from the Jewel Ornament of Liberation. This teaching is open to all levels of practitioners and beginners are welcome.

Our own Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche has encouraged us to seek guidance from Drupon Dorje with respect to Mahamudra practice and Drupon Dorje has graciously agreed to teach the stages of the path. †
