Refuge (Buddhism)

Buddhists take refuge in the Three Jewels or Triple Gem (also known as the "Three Refuges"). The Three Jewels are: * The Buddha, the fully enlightened one * The Dharma, the teachings expounded by the Buddha * The Sangha, the monastic order of Buddhism that practice Dharmas. Refuge is common to all major schools of Buddhism. Pali texts employ the Brahmanical motif of a group of three refuges, as found in Rig Veda 9.97.47, Rig Veda 6.46.9 and Chandogya Upanishad 2.22.3-4. The chant in the Pali language goes: Buddham saranam gacchami. “I take refuge in the Buddha.”
