🌸 Thus spoke Shakyamuni Buddha:
📿世尊,释迦牟尼佛陀说:🙏🪷
🪷 “Taking refuge” means returning to the true path — turning away from confusion, fear, and delusion.
💜 “皈依”意为回归正道,远离迷惑、恐惧与颠倒。
🪷 To take refuge is to entrust our life to wisdom, compassion, and truth.
💜 皈依,就是将我们的生命托付给智慧、慈悲与真理。
🪷 The Three Jewels are the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.
💜 三宝即是佛、法、僧。
🪷 “Buddha” means the Enlightened One — the guide who shows us the way out of suffering.
💜 “佛”,是觉悟者,是引导我们脱离苦海的导师。
🪷 “Dharma” means the teachings of truth — the law of the universe and the path to liberation.
💜 “法”,是真理的教导,是宇宙的规律与解脱之道。
🪷 “Sangha” means the practitioner — one who walks the path of awakening, whether monastic or lay.
💜 “僧”,是修行人本身,出家为僧,在家为居士,皆为行者。
🪷 Why take refuge? Because without a clear direction, we wander endlessly in the cycle of birth and death.
💜 为什么要皈依?因为没有方向,我们将在生死轮回中无尽漂流。
🪷 Refuge gives us guidance, support, and peace — like finding the shore after drifting in the vast sea. 💜
💜 皈依让我们获得指引、依靠与安宁,如同漂泊的人终于找到彼岸。💜
🪷 By taking refuge in the Three Jewels, we begin to walk the path toward awakening, freedom, and boundless compassion. 💜
💜 皈依三宝,便是走上觉悟、自在与无尽慈悲之路的开始。💜
🪷 Taking refuge is not just a formality — it is the beginning of a new life.
💜 皈依并非形式,而是新生命的开始。
🪷 After taking refuge, one truly repents for all past wrongdoings , killing, stealing, and all unwholesome deeds.
💜 皈依以后,要真心忏悔以往所造一切恶业:杀生、偷盗、邪行……
🪷 To take refuge means to transform , to let go of the old self that was lost in ignorance.
💜 皈依,就是转变,放下那个迷失的旧我。
🪷 From this moment on, we vow to never again commit harmful acts, and to cultivate all good deeds. 💜
💜 自此发愿:诸恶莫作,众善奉行。💜
🪷 True refuge ,not merely words, but a sincere rebirth of the heart. 💜
💜 皈依,不在言语,而在心的重生。💜
