Upcoming 3 Refuges and 5 Precepts Ceremony by Master Renshan
Amituofo, everyone!
Next March 28th at 7 PM China time Master Renshan, the abbot of Zhenning Buddhist Temple, is going to be holding a digital 3 Refuges and 5 Precepts ceremony over Zoom. To anyone wanting to formally convert to Buddhism, and especially to anyone wanting to learn from the Pure Land school, this is a great opportunity.
Master Renshan was the one who gave me my Dharma name and originally conducted my 3 Refuges and 5 Precepts ceremony and I'm going to be taking this opportunity to retake it. I hope that if I have convinced any of you to give it a shot that I'll see you there!
I have compiled a list of resources here for anyone interested in learning more.

I highly suggest this book. To dwell in the teachings for one day at a time is a little piece of counsel. The point of learning anything would be lost unless you have the ability to apply the lessons in a skillful way, which is a talent that very few individuals have. The Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh ( @thichnhathanh )demonstrates In Understanding Our Mind how developing a profound understanding of our own minds is crucial to bringing about world peace. These teachings mature within us as we tenaciously look after them and reflect on them, becoming a source of benefit for the entire community of living things. It is a privilege to write the introduction for this outstanding and significant work. #buddism #bodhisattva #budda #buddhadharma #buddhateachings #buddhatemple #budhism #buddhaquotes #buddhas #buddhist #classicbooks #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworms #bookaddict #bookshelf #goodreads #reads #bookaholic #reader #readerlife #mindful #meditationquotes #mindfulness #eckharttolle #laotzu #dalailama #nonduality #thichnhathanhquotes #lovingkindness https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfo8qXnPkXphi1i4PIPABZWehlrUPXJFLaxlLw0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Resources for Beginning Buddhists
I compiled this list to help prospective converts and Buddhi-curious folks in learning more about Buddhism generally and the Chinese Pure Land tradition specifically ahead of Master Renshan's 3 Refuges and 5 Precepts ceremony on 03/28/24.
I was going to post it alongside a link to the registration page for the event but I thought it'd be nice to put it on a post all its own. In the future I'm also hoping to update with more resources from other schools.

I want to surround myself with images of
Buddhas and bodhisattvas
and beauty
I see myself supported by the grace and protection
from armies of Saints; respected by
the whole world
I see them with me and they show me
abundance and light
light so bright I am filled with
Overwhelming awe
