SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA

Gone Beyond the Beyond

THE PRECIOUS THREE JEWELS

I take refuge in the Buddha,

wishing for all sentient beings to understand the great way and make the greatest vow.

I take refuge in the Dharma,

wishing for all sentient beings to deeply delve into the Sutra Pitaka, gaining an ocean of knowledge.

I take refuge in the Sangha,

wishing all sentient beings to lead the congregation in harmony, entirely without obstruction.

About Me

Prajna Bhadra: I have practiced Buddhism for more than 20 years, receiving many teachings from all four of the Tibetan lineages, as well as a brief period of time as a monastic in a Chinese Buddhist Order in Taiwan. I don't have any official titles, permissions, or recognition. I am neither monk nor Lama. I am a simple, lowly Lay Buddhist follower with very little knowledge and a poor understanding of Truth. This blog is just a method or tool to aid in understanding. May any merit gained form this endeavor be transferred to all mother sentient beings.
