Taking refuge in the Three Jewels—Buddha, Dharma and Sangha—is a central distinguishing feature of Buddhist practice. Understand the qualities of the Three Jewels, how they function to protect from suffering, and what it means to take refuge in them. Learn about the benefits of taking lay vows based on refuge and the role of these in enhancing our spiritual growth.
Venerable Tenzin Legtsok is in the
eighteenth year of the Geshe Studies Program at
Sera Jey Monastic University in South India where he studies
classic Indian Buddhist treatise and their Tibetan
commentaries in the tradition of ancient Nalanda
University. He has been ordained as a Buddhist monk since
2001.
Born in Virginia, USA in 1973, he obtained a Bachelor of
Arts from Kenyon College in 1995. The question, “What
makes for the most happy and meaningful life,” which
compelled him to major in philosophy during college
gradually led to his study of meditation and philosophy
with teachers among the exiled Tibetan communities in
India and Nepal from 1999 until the present.
For the past ten years he has tried to make basic Buddhist
teachings accessible to various audiences in India and the
US through lectures, essays, and meditation instruction.
