Triple Gem (Three Jewels)
Triple Gem in various Chinese dialects:
Mandarin: san pao
Cantonese:sam pou
Hokkien: samp po
Triple Gem are:
Buddha (the enlightened one),
Dhamma ( Buddha's teaching),
Sangha ( The teacher/ monk).
Buddhists take refuge in Triple Gem
(guiyi San pao皈依三宝)。
We need a monk to certified our taking refuge in Triple Gem (to become a Buddhist).
This process is just like a child need to register himself in order to become a student in a school.
Taking refuge is like register ourselves to become a student of Buddha.
This means we have to listen to Dhamma talks (like attending classes), learn to let go of our greed, hatred ang ignorance to become a better person.
Nowadays it is very convenient to listen to Dhamma talks ( without need to go out from our house) with the help of you-tube (internet).
We can listen to Dhamma talks according to our convenient (place and time).
So no time or not convenient (can not go out) is not the excuse for us not to learn Dhamma anymore.
Listen to Dhamma talks (especially Sutra Teaching ), understand a phrase, practice that phrase, the longer we listen/we learn, the deeper wisdom we recover then we will understand more.
I listen repeatedly Dhamma talks by Master Chin Kung (VCD/DVD)without a day off since year 2003.
I have gain great benefits by doing so.
I do hope you will find joy and peace in Buddhist Dhamma.
