[GP] Refuge as the Field of Bodhicitta: The Communal Heart of Vajrayāna

💫 About the Teaching

At the heart of the Vajrayāna lies a simple, luminous gesture: “At the outset, I go for refuge.”Yet Refuge is not an escape — it is an entry into belonging. It is how awakening becomes relational, how the heart recognizes itself in others.

In this special teaching, Lama Fede Andino will present and comment on a rare Refuge Prayer composed by the great Nyingma master Dudul Dorje, recognized as one of his earlier emanations. To explore this text is to touch the continuity of realization itself — a living thread that carries compassion and wisdom across lifetimes.

The prayer reveals Refuge not as a doctrine but as a social act of bodhicitta — an initiation into the community of awakening. Together, we will explore how this practice roots us in interdependence, trust, and compassionate responsibility toward all beings.
