"Taking Refuge in the Three Treasures" As you take refuge in the Buddha and worship it, you wish to embody the Great Dao together with sentient beings and emit a supreme will. As you take refuge in the Dharma yourself and worship it, you wish to enter deep into the sutra storehouse with sentient beings and become like the ocean of wisdom. As you take refuge in the monks and worship it, you wish to rule the masses together with sentient beings and become completely free.
