Preparing for the Bodhisattva Vows

This class is open to anyone who feels called to explore the Bodhisattva path and is contemplating taking the Bodhisattva vows. These vows express a heartfelt commitment to cultivate wisdom and compassion for the benefit of all beings. Together, we will gently explore the what, why, and how of the Bodhisattva vows, offering clarity and confidence before making this meaningful commitment.

The Bodhisattva Vows will be conferred on May 3rd during the Sunday Service.

Please note: Both the class and the vows will be in-person only.

If you feel drawn to take the Bodhisattva vows, we warmly invite you to complete the interest form and submit it.
