Three Jewels

The foundations of the Buddhist spiritual path are succinctly summarized in a four-line verse written by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and explored in an in-depth explanation.

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.

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.

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.
