TAKING REFUGE IN THE THREE JEWELS ( BUDDHA,DHARMA,SANGHA ).

Important Dharma - Buddhism

Three Refuge I. Open Thread Live the life you want, people want to choose a path, mapped out a life full of meaning and peace, is not easy. We are travelers are at the intersection of falling in, but do not know the end of that road lead to? Pick a way to go until I am old, very wise wise from future regret. But we have to choose, do not negligible, do not listen to incite anyone, because this is the way to go is not who we are. Choose carefully and then will go, is the attitude of the wise; eyes go as, mercy nowhere or there, a fool, take life as a game. The place to look carefully, to consider thoroughly before you walk on a path. Refuge in the Three Jewels result is to put yourself on a path to the end. Until the road is our lifetime. This job should have known, intimately aware of, new mind Refuge. Refuge vow is oriented to both our lives. If you do not know anything, then the Refuge lost all its meaning. II. Definitions Three Refuge say enough Refuge in the Three Jewels. Three Jewels are the Buddha Jewel, Dharma and Sangha. Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha, by his former spiritual enlightenment the Buddha. Dharma is the teachings spoken by the Buddha taught the way of cultivation. Sangha are the monks and nuns according to the precepts and the Dharma of the Buddha. Why called Buddhist sure? From an ordinary man like us to practice real Buddha is talking less on the mercy this time. So in the business say the Buddha was born is hard to see, as Udumbara a new millennium bear once. By little difficult to come by to say is treasure. Moreover, on his own escape from birth and death and enlightenment of Buddha, and then give that place of enlightenment taught to everyone from birth and death, is the greatest thing on earth so called Treasure. What is called Dharma? Chief Justice to be rare due to the Buddha, the listener is very difficult to understand thoroughly. But once you understand the spiritual application can transform ordinary life into a saint, such measures nothing more precious. The Buddha taught the truth, even through many times of truth was still shining as the precious pearl. Those who are optimistic do in the darkness, suddenly met torches, how glad you unfortunately, the director met the Chief Justice as well. Was sunk outside the pool, saw a boat to salvage, happy happy love how, the director met the Chief Justice is also like that. So say "Hundred of thousands of all life hard to see." How is called Increase sure? Increase is only for a group of Buddhist monks, living together with the spirit Luc Hoa. Living the spirit Force is at the mercy this time. Because the people of the world living in the race to grab more lost with each other, never reconciled. Harmoniously is: Body mix with, the Mouth Air controversial, Italy sociable fun, rule sociable keep, Knowledge merging with the Air Resources division. Six this is the spirit of the Sangha. If the round square jacket that does not live up to the spirit Luc Hoa also not called up. In the group of four people or more, who also harmonious coexistence with the spirit harmoniously is a very difficult thing to do. Thus, the monks living in the spirit of the Force, is a precious thing in the goodness of time. Moreover, in practice, he was with sorrow and achieve somewhat of pure peace, and guide people to to pure peace was. So therefore called Sangha. What is health? Where is return, y refuge. Back refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha called Refuge in the Three Jewels. Long we will always run after pleasure, a cause of suffering, this in mind certain provinces of taking refuge in the Triple Gem. Get Jewels make an end, to not create more suffering, and in so doing gives us peace in our lives. This is in the heart-awareness, our vow to return. This awareness is the intellectual foundation of the castle, it is the first step on the path of enlightenment hometown. Put this solid foundation, the new intellectual castle is long. It is the critical spirit Refuge. III. Outside the Three Refuges Buddha Dharma and Sangha are subject to our Refuge. Vowing to follow the path the Buddha is taking refuge in the Buddha. Decided to practice his teachings also recorded in the classic French Refuge. Upon under the guidance of our spiritual practice a refuge floor. From this step, we take the Triple Gem life as exemplary, directed by that eventually, from the suspect fumbling as ever. We Are Pilots, Three Jewels is the lighthouse. For every target in a lighthouse that drove the boat close our network to the destination. Song of Buddhism, Buddhists believe the decision is no longer any hesitation, did increase to be careful to avoid getting wrong. Increase the corporate clergy living the spirit Luc Hoa, not personality. If a monk stands out as a refuge for Buddhist ceremony, the group he represents. Refuge in the Sangha as refuge with the monks live the spirit Luc Hoa, not a private limited the eight precepts transmission monk himself. If representatives communication with realm tu be or not tu be, the legal world has still refuge increased. When refuge in a monk ie refuge in all monks, if you live the spirit of harmony. Buddhists have the right to learn all the monks, should not be limited where his teacher. So true spirit of the Three Refuges outside. IV. Three Refuges Tu Tam Buddhism never have enough sides, external Jewels objects, Jewels Self interest is nature. Taking three security outside, we developed the Three Jewels of the mind itself. In addition to mutual fulfillment meticulous practice, is the main goal of Buddhism. What is the Triple Gem self-care? Nature of our sensory available where Buddha Jewel. Compassionate heart to help sentient beings is Dharma. Mind in harmony with people Sangha. By Buddhist Privacy outside, we awaken their sense of identity, or to rely on their sense of identity is taking refuge in the Buddha. By Dharma outside, we pushed out of compassion for living beings, become the refuge with his compassion Refuge France. By monks outside reminds us pure harmony workshop, returned to his pure spirit of harmony workshop is taking refuge in the Sangha. Dharma Sangha outside assistance to help us arise the Dharma increase of self-interest. For example, he worked as an assistant teacher for pupil coast expand its knowledge. There was hard teacher, but her lazy student did not learn, the teacher also becomes useless. Similarly, external Jewels, Buddhists do not try to wake her own Jewels, Jewels outside meaningless. Jewels outside good condition is essential to Buddhists, but enlightenment freedom is the ability of the Three Jewels own mind. Just know Jewels outside neglect proceedings. A surface on Jewels of self-interest no matter what the external Jewels, is the reason I walked. Buddhists Chon district must staff the new management from obstacles on the path. V. Rite Refuge Major focus in the refuge ceremony, while Buddhists kneel before the Three Jewels, the three vows: "Practitioner ... for a lifetime refuge in the Buddha, refuge in the Dharma, the Sangha." This vow own heart comes Buddhists, not by coercion instigated. Three times vows so as to sow the seed deep into stealth mode, making ever forget. This is a voluntary self-discipline. Form of ritual helps more impressive important for that aspiration moment only. When we are mindful prayer Tam Bao our life benefits. If the path has always been ignorance cover not mind the Three Jewels, we suffer. Buddhism is not required us oath heavily to apostasy. Treasure for if application is accepted, the benefits, do not like loud, forced to do. Except post mean, new heavy mandatory sentences swear to not dare to leave. The understanding here and see the true value of Buddhism. All the enticing forced to follow religion, Buddhism completely opposed. Each self-awareness about Buddhism and the mind to religion, the true spirit of Buddhism. Understand and then act in the spirit of enlightenment. Used technique or miracle to lure people into the religion, it is superstition. Use all benefits to lure people into the religion, it is tempting foolish man, do not fit with the spirit of enlightenment. We have an obligation to explain to other people understand the mind refuge is, evangelical right feet. Solemn rite in the refuge ceremony, just coast to support our vow achieve perfection. This ritual does not mean that the Buddha will bless our life peacefully. VI. Reaffirmed After taking refuge in the Three Jewels, we confirmed a clear stance: "Refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in God, gods, demons, wrestling." We have carefully determined according to the Buddha was enlightened, not reason with God, gods, demons, wrestling. Because God, gods, demons, wrestling is not enlightenment, and reincarnation as we. But there are also some Buddhists take refuge in the Buddha, which is run by the devil. These people are due to take benefits, like mystery, so went the wrong way Buddhism. Even because of their superstition, they become more respected spirits Buddha. This is the vicious indifference to criticism of Buddhism. "Refuge France, not refuge pagan cult." Buddha Dharma is the truth, save sentient beings in a practical way, as his physician for the patient. You understand the real funeral, and the reason we run the pagan cult. We call themselves loving the truth, may escape suffering practical, pagan cult had nothing to offer to us. Only the gap where I have to listen to good, new actions such ridiculous changes. Despite allowing evil addition to what is sacred, we start greed in them. Or spiritual cure mystery illness is also saved from the feet of Buddhist would rather die than beg. This body ghin kept some smart, finally melting tanks, peanuts on the wrong hard life out of life. "Refuge Increase, no refuge you evil evil group". We chose the wise princess, that makes my life closer to virtue. You evil evil group of people that religion should be kept away. Because "near black ink near the light" or "close your map foul fishy smell after transmission, close animal smells their fragrance spread". So we must have the courage to right path of your choice, whether contempt when slandering, so that goes. Because we're not a blind man, that had run good or evil. Reaffirmed clearly willed determination. If this training and lacking the will, susceptible to wind shake. VII. Conclusion Refuge in the Three Jewels is the foundation building enlightenment, is the first rung on the ladder tree release, is the first step on the way home unborn. To beat extreme scale plant liberate, the first step for step manner. Interested in the welfare of the unborn home, the first step on the road to go to the right. Lack foundation Tam Where is the building of enlightenment can never build. Without the first step, one can hardly take tree climbing stairs free. The first step on the road back home was wrong, hundreds of thousands of steps so as to go as wrong. So, Refuge in the Three Jewels of great importance. Every person wants to Buddhism to from Refuge that entrance, not like the basic Buddhist loss. Because it plays such an important role, should be cautious in Buddhist vows of Refuge. Do not for a refuge to have merit, from sickness, Buddha Bless through affliction ..., are superstitious reasons, as opposed to voluntary self-discipline of Buddhism.
