This talk is the third of four talks by Padmavajra on a men's Going for Refuge retreat, December 2012.

Padmavajra explores some of the suttas from The Udana collection of the Pali Canon, referring throughout to Sangharakshita's seminar material.

This talk is organised using the following structure : The meaning of Uposatha; the bhikkhu who refuses to confess and his expulsion from the assembly; the meaning of patimokkha; confession and openess; the Dhamma-Vinaya likened to the great and mighty ocean.
