Three Baskets of Wisdom

[ShenGod]

Can anyone tell me more about this from a personal view, not a internet resource? I know slight amounts about it.




(I put this under Milarpa fund for the connected reason of Buddhism)

The three baskets are, as you probably know are Buddha, The Dhamma, and Sanghra. when one becomes a buddhist, the may recite "I take refuge in the Buddha. I take Refuge in the Dhamma. I take refuge in the Sanghra" So from a personal stand point, It is one persons realization that the Buddha is a standard that they can acheive (not a "god"), the Dhamma are the teachngs of Buddha, (the 4 noble truths, the eightfold path) and that the person hold them to be true. The Sanghra is the community of Buddhist (all Buddhists) and to take refuge in that means to acknowledge that the path to enlightenment is a communal path, a social path, and that those on the path to enlightenment should value that community. does this help?

That would be "religious master".

You're not really a grammartive master are you Shen? :p

[Shadrach]

No, that would be student of religion.

[Lex Diamonds]

No, that would be student of religion.
Yeah, if he knew what he was talking about, but he was trying to claim you were some kind of "wizard" or "master" just because you knew the Buddhist fundamentals.

Never mind. :rolleyes:

[ShenGod]

sorry I started that. The "Religional" was intentional. Don't sweat your pores over it, yo.

[Shadrach]
