3 Refuges & 5 Precepts Ceremony
3 Refuges & 5 Precepts Ceremony
Every year on a few key Buddhist festivals our respected teacher Venerable Master Renshan will most likely host an online 3 Refuges & 5 Precepts Ceremony for those who do not have the opportunity to attend the ceremony in person at a temple. If you are interested in signing up for an upcoming ceremony, you may fill out the form below.
All ceremonies will take place online in our Nianfo Zoom ( Zoom ID: 8808 7624 858).

(Please make room for bowing during the ceremony – if you can’t bow due to physical reasons, then don’t worry. Most important is your sincere heart.)
Those of you who do not feel confident to take all the 5 Precepts, are encouraged to take at least 1, 2, 3 or 4 of them. Please choose what Precepts you will uphold and mention that in the form below, in the field titled “Is there anything you would like to let us know?”
The ceremony is free, however, you can choose to make an offering (donation) here.(仪式是免费的,但您可以在这里供养)
PS: If you wish to go one step further and observe the eight precepts occasionally at your convenience, you can follow the instructions in this document here.
