Answer #1

no I did a lot of research- I just don’t really know the word for the ritual… I thought there might be a more proper word.

Answer #2

You don’t need a big ceremony to become Buddhist - refuge can be taken in your own home…it’s more a self-proclamation than a religious expectation. As a matter of fact, ceremonies are often elaborate and therefore, frowned upon.

Please don’t call daily rituals a mass - you don’t go to church to pray…it’s very different from what you seem to be understanding.

I strongly advise you do a little more research before you take refuge - once you do that, it will be much more difficult for you to make mistakes.
