An audio recording of Mahayana Refuge Ceremony & Bodhisattva Vow Ceremony, prayers recited during ceremonies for going for refuge and taking Bodhisattva vows. Both ceremonies are traditionally performed with a preceptor, and thus a short pause is included at the appropriate point in the CD where the preceptor guides the actual taking of the vows. The chanting resumes with the special dedication prayer. The wording for the requesting and thanking mandalas varies slightly depending on which ceremony is being followed; both alternatives are included in this CD.
