Mahayana Refuge Ceremony & Bodhisattva Vow Ceremony

A prayer booklet for taking part in two ceremonies. During the Mahayana Refuge Ceremony we formally go for refuge to the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha; and during the Bodhisattva Vow Ceremony we make the strong determination to become a Bodhisattva—someone who strives toward enlightenment motivated by compassion for all living beings—and engage in all the actions of a Bodhisattva.
