This talk on bodhicitta and taking refuge was given at the North Carolina Zen Center. Bodhicitta is explored as an aspiration to attain awakening in order to be of service to others on their own path to awakening. Taking refuge in Buddha, dharma and sangha are discussed as a support structure for bodhicitta. Of interest is the conversation which happened after the talk, exploring how to develop these practices in a time of social and political division.
