| | | | Buddhism - Refuge in The Three Jewels: Encyclopedia II - Buddhism - Buddhist religious philosophy and branches
Buddhism has evolved into myriad schools that can be roughly grouped into three types: Nikaya, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. Of the Nikaya schools, only the Theravada survives.
Each branch sees itself as representing the true, original teachings of the Buddha, and some schools believe that the dialectic nature of Buddhism allows its format, terminology, and techniques to adapt over time in response to changing circ ...

| | | | Buddhism - Refuge in The Three Jewels: Encyclopedia II - Buddhism - Buddhism and the West Occasional intersections between Western civilization and the Buddhist world have been occurring for thousands of years. Perhaps the most significant of these began in 334 BCE, early in the history of Buddhism, when the Macedonian king Alexander the Great conquered most of Central Asia. The Seleucids and the successive Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek kingdoms established an important Hellenistic influence in the area, which interacted with Buddhism. The conversion to Buddhism of the Indo-Greek king Menander (155-130 BCE) is described in Indian sources (the Mili ...

| | |  Buddhism - Refuge in The Three Jewels: The Three Jewels in BuddhismBuddhism Beliefs: The Three Jewels in Buddhism Buddhists seek refuge in what are often referred to as the Three Jewels, Triple Gem or Triple Jewel. These are the Buddha, the Dharma (or Dhamma), and the "noble" (Sanskrit: arya) Sangha or community of monks and nuns who have become enlightened. While it is impossible to escape one's karma or the effects caused by previous thoughts, words and deeds, it is possible to avoid the suffering that comes from it by becoming enlightened. In this way, dharma offers a refuge. Dharma, used in the sense of the Buddha's teachings, provides a raft and is thus a temporary refuge while entering and crossing the river. However, the real refuge is on the other side of the river. Read more here: » Buddhism Beliefs: The Three Jewels in Buddhism |

| | | | Buddhism - Refuge in The Three Jewels: Encyclopedia II - Refuge Buddhism - Vows If we decide to go for Refuge, we should also commit ourselves to the path we choose by keeping vows, or precepts. The one mandatory vow, always implicit in taking refuge, is avoiding to harm other sentient beings, directly or indirectly. (Please note that depending on tradition and teacher, some differences can appear in the exact definitions of the vows.)
The pañca-sila (the Five Precepts of Virtue) consists of optional other vows that can be taken as part of taking Refuge. These are:
1. Not killing: refers to humans a ...

| | | | Buddhism - Refuge in The Three Jewels: Encyclopedia II - Sangharakshita - Distinctive teachings Sangharakshita is a mixture of conservative and radical. He emphasises basic Buddhist teachings, like conditionality, and the Four Noble Truths, while at the same time disregarding teachings which he sees as no longer relevant. He was ordained as a Theravadin Bhikkhu, but sought Tantric initiations from Tibetan lamas.
Going for Refuge has become central to how Sangharakshita thinks about the Dharma. He sees it as the central act of being, or becoming a Buddhist. In response to suffering and dissatisfaction we seek refuge in a variety ...

| | | | Buddhism - Refuge in The Three Jewels: Encyclopedia II - Friends of the Western Buddhist Order - The Western Buddhist Order Despite the name, the WBO is based not only in the West but is now a worldwide Buddhist movement. Membership of the order is limited by one main criterion, the ability to Go for Refuge to the Three Jewels; that is the Buddha, Buddhadharma, and the Sangha. Since, as Sangharakshita has emphasized, it is the act of Going For Refuge that makes one a Buddhist, it makes sense for this to be the fundamental principle of the order. That said, the order is on one level simply a network of friends com ...
