The Triple Refuge represents the fundamentals of Buddhism, including taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.<\/p>

Taking refuge in the Buddha entails placing one's body, mind, and spirit in the Buddha's wisdom and compassion. Taking refuge in the Dharma entails accepting the Buddha's teachings and allowing guidance for one's life. Taking refuge in the Sangha shows respect and support for the monastic community, which helps to sustain and disseminate the Buddha's teachings.<\/p>

Among the Five Precepts are the prohibitions against taking life, stealing, sexual misbehaviour, false speech, and intoxicants. These are the ethical rules that Buddhist practitioners, including lay devotees, should adhere to in order to cultivate compassion, virtue, and merit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis ceremony of Triple Refuge and Five Precepts does not have a specific fee, but rather encourages voluntary donations to accumulate merit. While material wealth is a worldly possession for this current life, the merits of wholesome deeds are beneficial across three lifetimes, can transform into boundless energy, purify wisdom across the cycles of rebirth, and help to attain the perfect enlightenment of Buddhahood.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
