Understanding our
own mind is the key to improving it. Currently we suffer from an
erratic and uncontrolled mind that causes frequent negative thoughts
and feelings. If we wish to attain lasting happiness we need to
transform our mind so that it is always stable, controlled, and
peaceful. The basis of such a transformation is learning the nature,
function, and various parts of the mind.

The
principal benefits of taking Refuge Vows is that we shall gain
protection from the miseries of unfortunate rebirth and we shall
gradually progress toward the supreme happiness of enlightenment. Our
actual protection and basis of progress arises from taking the
Pratimoksha Vows. These vows are the basic foundation for releasing
ourself from all the suffering we experience without choice. This
ceremony is for both those that wish to take the vows for the first
time and for those wishing to renew their vows.
