Buddhist Refuge and Bodhisattva Promise |
| 17:00 |
|
H.H. Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje
Karmapa Thaye Dorje will give Buddhist Refuge and the Bodhisattva Promise, together with explanations of these central aspects of Buddhism.
Buddhist Refuge is a reorientation towards values that can be trusted. This is an expression of one's confidence in the goal, Buddha - mind's full development; in the way to reach this state - the Buddhist teachings; and in the support that makes this possible - one's friends on the way.
The Bodhisattva Promise is a tool for those wishing to practice Buddhism. A bodhisattva is someone who promises to work for the benefit of others. By learning to express the rich qualities of power, wisdom and love we are able to develop ourselves as fast as possible. It is very meaningful to take this promise from a recognised bodhisattva such as Karmapa Thaye Dorje.

Marpa Empowerment |
| 17:00 |
|
H.H. Karmapa Trinlay Thaye Dorje
Karmapa Thaye Dorje will give the Marpa Empowerment. This is open to anyone who is Buddhist or wishes to become Buddhist. 'Marpa the Translator' was a hero of Buddhism and the father of the Kagyu lineage in Tibet. As a practitioner who enjoyed both his work and family, he completely integrated Buddha's most skilful methods into his everyday life. As all Diamond Way Buddhist centres are filled with lay people, it is Marpa's example that is particularly inspiring.
The Marpa Empowerment is given as a blessing to help us achieve success in our practice. It works by opening us up to our full potential, as shown to us by an authentic Buddhist teacher.
