About Refuge

In Buddhism, Refuge refers to taking shelter in the Three Jewels: the Buddha (the enlightened one), the Dharma (the teachings), and the Sangha (the community of practitioners). This act signifies a commitment to the Buddhist path, acknowledging the Buddha as a guide, the Dharma as a path to follow, and the Sangha as a supportive community. Taking Refuge is a foundational practice in all Buddhist traditions, representing trust and dedication to the spiritual journey toward enlightenment.
