    Buddhist Wedding Ceremonies
     
    Philip Greentree has researched the many traditions of Buddhism and written a ceremony that conforms with Australian civil requirements.

    Most Australians don't realise that Buddhism is NOT a religion in the exact sense, rather it is a way of life. And, yes, there are Buddhists who don't necessarily believe in God as such. However, it is the way of life that Buddhist follow that makes it ever growing in popularity in the West.

    With a Buddhist ceremony, a monk does not need to be present. The couple can travel to the nearest Temple to seek blessing at their convenience.

    The real issue with a Buddhist wedding ceremony (as such), is that it does not comply with Australian Law. This is why Philip Greentree has written a ceremony that includes the components that comply with Australian civil requirements.

    The ceremony contains many essential rituals, including:

  • Recitation by the Assembly
  • Offering to Buddha
  • Reading the Sigalovada Sutta
  • Buddhist asking of vows of the bridal couple
  • Cord ceremony
  • Buddhist handfasting
  • The Tisarana
  • The Panca Sila

  • O
    course, the ceremony contains the elements required by Australian Law:

  • The monitum
  • The Asking
  • The bridal couple's marriage vows

    It is the inclusion of the above three items that makes the ceremony compliant with Australian Law.
