Explanationव्याख्या
The Three Jewels of Buddhism are Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
Taking refuge in these three became a foundational expression of Buddhist identity and practice.
Buddha represents the awakened teacher and, in broader Buddhist traditions, the ideal of awakening.
Dharma refers to Buddha's teaching, the path and the truth realized through it.
Sangha refers primarily to the monastic community in early institutional usage, although in broader contexts it may also refer to the community of Buddhist practitioners.
The formula 'I take refuge in the Buddha, I take refuge in the Dharma, I take refuge in the Sangha' is central to Buddhist tradition.
Students should distinguish these from Jainism's Three Jewels, commonly expressed as Right Faith, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct.
This Buddhism-Jainism distinction is a common competitive-examination question.
बौद्ध धर्म के त्रिरत्न हैं—बुद्ध, धर्म और संघ। इन तीनों की शरण ग्रहण करना बौद्ध धार्मिक पहचान और अभ्यास का मूल तत्व बन गया। बुद्ध ज्ञान प्राप्त गुरु का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हैं। धर्म या धम्म बुद्ध की शिक्षाओं, मार्ग और उनके द्वारा समझे गए सत्य को दर्शाता है। संघ प्रारंभिक संदर्भ में मुख्यतः भिक्षु और भिक्षुणी समुदाय को दर्शाता है, हालांकि व्यापक अर्थ में बौद्ध साधकों के समुदाय के लिए भी इसका प्रयोग किया जा सकता है। 'बुद्धं शरणं गच्छामि, धम्मं शरणं गच्छामि, संघं शरणं गच्छामि' बौद्ध परंपरा का प्रसिद्ध सूत्र है। इसे जैन धर्म के त्रिरत्न—सम्यक दर्शन, सम्यक ज्ञान और सम्यक चरित्र—से भ्रमित नहीं करना चाहिए।
