Enjoy In Being Aware

Dear Friends,
During the recent spring wellness retreat, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche shared his new Prayer of Secret Refuge and how it relates to our taking care of ourselves.

An Edited Excerpt of Teachings by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Spring 2026

One’s taking refuge is a principle practice within the Tibetan Bön-Buddhist tradition. Generally, when we take refuge, we are seeking help and a higher support and more clarity. While there are different forms of refuge in the various doctrines of Bön and Buddhism, it’s always comes down to the same idea: that we are seeking support from somewhere that we can truly trust.
