Buddhists "take refuge" in, or to "go for refuge" to, the ''Three Jewels'' or Triple Gem, (aka the "Three Refuges"). This can be done formally in lay and monastic ordination ceremonies. The Three Jewels general signification is: * the Buddha; * the Dharma, the teachings; * the Sangha, the community of (at least partially) enlightened beings, often approximated to community of monks and nuns (Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis). Refuge in the Triple Gem is common to all major schools of Buddhism. == Faith (saddha) == (詳細はTheravada and Mahayana traditions. In contrast to perceived Western notions of faith, faith in Buddhism arises from accumulated experience and reasoning. In the ''Kalama Sutra'', the Buddha explicitly argues against simply following authority or tradition, particularly those of religions contemporary to the Buddha's time.〔("Kalama Sutta, The Buddha's Charter of Free Inquiry" ) by Soma Thera〕 There remains value for a degree of trusting confidence and belief in Buddhism, primarily in the spiritual attainment and salvation or enlightenment. Faith in Buddhism centres on belief in the Three Jewels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Refuge (Buddhism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
