The Supreme Refuge: Reflecting on the Triple Gem


Listen Later

In this talk, Bhante from the Mahabodhi Society welcomes everyone to a session of Dhamma practice and reflection. He explains the deep importance of the Triple Gem—the Buddha, the Dhamma (his teachings), and the Sangha (the community of monks and nuns)—as the most precious treasures in the world. Bhante mentions a gatha that says no worldly wealth can be compared to the priceless value of the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. He reminds listeners that taking refuge in the Triple Gem should not be done blindly, but with understanding and wisdom. Bhante concludes by saying that remembering these sacred qualities can fill our hearts with faith and help us stay calm and peaceful during life’s challenges. This talk encourages everyone to reflect on these teachings and find strength and guidance in the Triple Gem.
