Take refuge in the Three Jewels - What are the Three Jewels? One said, 'I take refuge in the Buddha; I take refuge in the Dhamma; I take refuge in the Sangha'. As time went on, taking refuge in these Three Ratnas was considered a mistake when converting from one organized religion to another. But when understood from the right angle, its original meaning, not only ordinary people, but also priests, nuns, and leaders of different religions are not afraid to take refuge in the Three Jewels. What is Tam Bao? One said, 'I take refuge in the Buddha; I take refuge in Dhamma; I take refuge in the old Sangha'. As time went on, taking refuge in these Three Jewels was deemed wrong when converted from one organized religion to another. But when understood from the right point of view, in the original sense, not only ordinary people, but also priests, nuns, leaders of different religions showed no hesitation in taking refuge in the Three Jewels. The Buddha explained clearly and clearly the meaning of the Three Rats as the quality of the Dhamma, when he said: The Buddha explained very clearly the meaning of the Three Jewels as the quality of Dhamma, when he spoke : "Idampi Buddhe ratanam panitam, Idampi Dhamme ratanam panitam, Idampi Sanghe ratanam panitam. “He explained the Three Jewels as good qualities in each of them. And people are relying on these qualities, not on people or people. The Three Jewels are moral qualities in each person. And a person is relying on these qualities, and not on themselves or on others. The true teaching of the Enlightened One does not want anyone to take refuge in Gotama, the Buddha, nor the 'Dharma' of Buddhism, as well as in the 'Buddhist Sangha'. When we remove these confusing prefixes from these words and understand the true meaning of the Three Ratnas, it becomes acceptable to one and all. That is because, when one takes refuge in Ratna, one takes refuge not in a person, but in that person's moral qualities for inspiration to develop those qualities in oneself. myself. The Pure Teaching of the Enlightened One does not want anyone to rely on Gotama, the Buddha, nor to take refuge in the 'Buddha Dharma', nor in the 'Buddhist Sangha'. When we understand the true meaning of the Three Jewels, it will be universal to all. This is because, when we take refuge in the Three Jewels, we do not rely on a person, but on that person's moral qualities for inspiration to develop those qualities within themselves. When one takes refuge in the Buddha Ratna, one takes refuge in the Buddha's qualities, which is enlightenment. And this enlightenment is not limited to a particular sect or community. Every person has the seed of enlightenment within him, but one has to work very hard, over many lifetimes, to gradually grow and attain full enlightenment. Omniscience is not exclusive to Siddhartha Gotama. He said many times that there were many Buddhas before and there will be many Buddhas after him. When we take refuge in the Three Jewels of the Buddha, we are taking refuge in the qualities of the Buddha, which is enlightenment. And this enlightenment is not limited to a particular sect or community. Everyone has the seed of enlightenment within himself, but one has to work very hard, over many lifetimes, to gradually grow and become fully enlightened. Complete enlightenment is not the exclusive right of Siddhartha Gotama. He has said many times that there are many Buddhas before him and there will be many Buddhas after him. So, when one takes refuge in the Ratna Sangha, one actually takes refuge in the quality of the Sangha. Whoever has walked the path of the Dharma, has purified his mind, liberated himself from all defilements, and constantly generated love and compassion. Such a holy person is the Sangha; a person can be of any 'caste', community, country, gender, it makes no difference. One gets inspiration from any such pure-hearted person, from whom one feels confident in receiving guidance for one's own liberation, and working hard to get there. right direction. Likewise, when one takes refuge in the Sangha Ratna, one really takes refuge in the qualities of the Sangha. Whoever has walked the path of Dhamma, has purified his mind, freed himself from all afflictions, continues to give birth to love and compassion. Rise like a saint; one can belong to any caste, community, nation, gender, it makes no difference. One gets inspiration from any such pure-minded person, from which one feels confident to receive guidance for one's own liberation, and to work hard to be on the path. respectable. So taking refuge in the Triple Gem really means taking refuge in the universal qualities of the Dharma. This is something the Buddha emphasized many times. Indeed, Buddha is Buddha because of the Dharma. Sangha is Sangha for the sake of Dharma. Therefore, Dhamma is the highest in the world - Dhammo hi settho janetasmim. And again and again he considers the importance of taking refuge in the Dharma. Take refuge in the Dhamma, which means the Dhamma within ourselves - "Dhareti'ti Dhammo". This is a real refuge, a real refuge, a real island where one can shelter one's boat in any turbulent storm - Attadipa viharatha, attasarana, anannasarana Dhamma dipa dhammasarana anannasarana So taking refuge in the Triple Gem really means taking refuge in the universal qualities of Dhamma. This is what the Buddha emphasized many times. Indeed, Buddha is Buddha because of Dhamma. The Sangha is the Sangha for the sake of Dhamma. Therefore, Dhamma is the noblest in the world – Dhammo hi settho janetasmim. And again and again, he took refuge in Dhamma seriously. Take refuge in Dhamma, which means Dhamma within yourself – “Dhareti'ti Dhammo”. This is the true refuge, a real island where one can shelter one's boat in any turbulent storm – Attadipa viharatha, attasarana, anannasarana Dhamma dipa dhammasarana anannasarana The Buddha emphasized that the Dhamma developed within ourselves should be one's own refuge, and unequivocally declared (na anna saranam) - to take refuge in no one else. He says one is one's own master ("atta hi attano natho"), one makes one's own future (atta hi attano gati); and then he unequivocally said that you must find your own salvation ("tumhe hi Regicam attappam"), and that the Enlightened Ones show only the True Path ("akkhataro Tathagata"). One must make every effort to walk on the Path.
