In Dharma, the destination of life is to throw ourselves into the three jewelsundefined embrace.

What are Buddhism three jewels? That is, the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.

The Buddha: refers to the awakened one. He can not only awaken himself but also awaken others, the attainment of Perfect Enlightenment, Awakening or Nirvana. He attains the state of perfection through his own efforts, demonstrating that it is a humanly possible feat. Taking refuge in the Buddha, we should follow the Buddha’s example and follow the example of enlightenment.

The Dharma: refers to the Teachings of the Buddha. That is right teachings and correct perception. Through the Teachings, Lord Buddha shows us the way in which we too can perfect ourselves and attain Enlightenment. Taking refuge in the Dharma, we should set correct perception as the right guide.

The Sangha: refers to the monastic community of ordained Buddhist monks and nuns. The Sangha is the inheritors and transmitters of the Dharma. Taking refuge in the Sangha, we should take purity as self-cultivation.

"Only in this way , can we ensure that we can ceaselessly change our life structure on its path, and make efforts to let it go toward the good." - From Master ZongXing’s Dharma talks.

As requested by the Buddhist believers, Wenshu Monastery of Chengdu will hold refuge taking ceremony at the first Sunday of every month, in which broad masses of believers can properly take refuge and build correct perception and view of the life and the Dharma. Through the refuge taking ceremony, believers can officially become a Buddhist.

The religious names of believers taking refuge all begin with the word "miao", and the second word comes from The Lotus Sutra.
