Triple Gem

The Triple Gem refers to the foundational principles of Buddhism, representing three essential refuges for practitioners: the Buddha (the enlightened teacher), the Dharma (the teachings and truths he uncovered), and the Sangha (the community of monks, nuns, and lay followers). These three serve as guiding lights for ethical conduct, spiritual development, and seeking enlightenment. Practitioners often take refuge in the Triple Gem as a commitment to follow the path of wisdom and compassion, using these core elements as a foundation for their spiritual journey.
