The Triple Jewel: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha

 


































Lord Buddha was a truly Holy Man. His personality, his actions and his whole life make him worthy to be an example to each and every one of us.

The Dharma is the teaching of Lord Buddha.  It explains to us the way to stop doing evil and be kind, how to save people from suffering and be helpful to  others.

The Sangha is the community of Buddha’s disciples.  In other words, it is the order of monks and nuns, people who lead a religious life devoted to the study and practice of Buddhism.  Thanks to these people, Buddhism will continue to spread and be passed down from generation to generation.

The Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are called the Triple Jewel.  People who take refuge in the Triple Jewel are healthy, happy and serene, and their joy continues from this life into the next. (thesoulandyou.blogspot.com - Source: Thư Viện Hoa Sen)
