Transformation comes from Commitment

Talk given by Padmasagara & Tarapalita on 2026-01-10.

How does a journey unfold from commitment to the transformation of one’s life? In this talk, Padmasagara and Tarapalita share their personal training journeys and experiences of ordination.

The session is audience-interactive and includes reflections on what a Buddhist Order is and why it is needed, how one asks for ordination, what happens during the ordination process, and why one receives a new name, and what that name signifies.
