Buddham Saranam Gacchammi
Dammam Saranam Gacchami
Sangham Saranam Gacchami
We go for refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha--the Triple Gem. That's how one takes the first step in Buddhism. But do we know what going for refuge means? Haengdal Citta gives us a number of different interpretations & translations in his talk from August 23, 2023. We can go for refuge in the Three Jewels, we can make a habit of going for refuge, and we can stay in this state of refuge. It's all good! We have the Buddha, the Dharma, and our Sangha to rely on. It is a safe place.
