On my way to this Buddhist wake (ceremony for a deceased person), I heard The Enlightment Podcast episode that discussed the formal steps for becoming a Buddhist. At the wake I had a booklet for the chanting we did in both Pali (I think) and English. Most the the earlier chantings were the same as was discussed in the Englightenment Podcast: taking refuge in the Bhudda, the Dharma (teaching), and the Songha (community). In addition to the Sri Lankan priest, there were seven of us participating in this ceremony.
