Todayand#8217;s FBA Dharmabyte is entitled and#8220;The Act of Making a Refugeand#8221;, an excerpt from the talk and#8220;The Search For Refugeand#8221; by Padmavajra. At the time of the Buddha, life was unsafe, people sought refuge in sacred groves, natural shrines and blessed trees to seek protection from the dangers in the world. Explaining the three levels of Dukkha, Padmavajra gives us a clear pathway to understanding the movement within us to make refuges, and what those true refuges really are.

Second in a series of five talks given at Padmaloka, March 2009 on the study theme and#8216;Going for Refugeand#8217;.
