refuge.

Last night, my boyfriend's brother took refuge. Refuge is basically a ceremony that one goes through to accept the Buddhist faith. I was so honored to be invited and so very proud of my boyfriend's brother as he sat on the floor on his mat participating in elaborate rituals and customs so that he could officially become a part of something that he is truly passionate about. I adore a lot of people, my boyfriend's brother being one of the people that I adore the most. He is honestly one of the most passionate people I have ever met. I love how determined he is to achieve all of his goals in life, while still focusing on the well-being of others. It was so special to be part of such a memorable night for him. After the ceremony, we went out to a restaurant called Chopstix. We talked all about religion and love and humankind and it was absolutely perfect. I love my boyfriend and I love his brother.
