Ritual Use & Practice 修持法門
Opening of all Tibetan Buddhist sessions; establishing the Three Jewels as one's ultimate refuge. Typically recited three times at the start of any practice.
Background & Significance 背景與意義
The Three Jewels Refuge formula is the universal gateway to Buddhist practice. In the Tibetan form, the refuge is extended 'until enlightenment' (jangchub bardu), expressing the Mahayana commitment to liberation for the benefit of all beings, not merely for oneself. This is typically paired immediately with the Bodhicitta aspiration prayer.
