Dharma Name Application

Receiving a Dharma Name is a meaningful step in deepening your connection with the Won Buddhist sangha (spiritual community) and affirming your aspiration for awakening.

It is an invitation to engage more fully in the life of the community—through shared study, mindful reflection, and the continuous cultivation of mind and heart. In these collective practices, you may discover deeper layers of the teachings and new ways to embody them in everyday life.

The ceremony, typically held in August at the Manhattan Temple, marks the beginning of a new phase on your spiritual path. The Dharma Name you receive symbolizes your commitment to living in harmony with the Dharma and to walking the path with sincerity and intention.

After submitting the form, the temple Gyomunim (ordained teacher) will contact you with next steps.
