In this talk, a monk from the Mahabodhi Society welcomes listeners to a shared session of practicing and listening to the Dhamma. He emphasizes the profound significance of the Triple Gem—the Buddha, the Dhamma (his teachings), and the Sangha (the monastic community)—as the most precious jewels in existence. He references a gatha that states no worldly wealth can compare to the invaluable wealth of the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. The talk highlights that taking refuge in the Triple Gem should not be a blind act of faith, but a conscious choice rooted in wisdom and understanding. He concludes by reassuring the audience that recalling these sacred qualities can instill a sense of devotion and help them navigate difficult times with a calm and peaceful mind. The talk serves as a reminder to reflect on the teachings and find strength in these three precious jewels.
