Refuge

The lam-rim, or graded stages of the Buddhist path, take us from an ordinary limited being to a fully enlightened Buddha.

When we formally orient our lives with the safe and positive direction of refuge, we commit ourselves to actions for training, which are helpful for maintaining this direction.

To put a safe direction in life, we need to correctly identify the Three Precious Gems.

There are various types of actions that indicate the practical application of refuge in our daily lives and what we actually need to do in order to maintain that direction.

Work on shortcomings and potentials, to avoid depression at your life going nowhere.

Refuge provides us with a path to follow, so that we’re always heading in a good direction. No matter what happens around us, this will give us strength and meaning in life.

Refuge, or putting a safe direction in our lives, begins with giving our lives more meaning by working on ourselves to be a kinder person.
