8903 – [6 of 6] The Triple Gem in Buddhism
Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu saves his talk on the Triple Gem until the end because he presents it from the perspective of those who having studied and understood the Buddhist teachings. He explains why we need to understand the Triple Gem in both people language and Dhamma language then describes both in detail. He looks at the importance of the word Ratana (gem)—that which delights, that which satisfies. He emphasizes that the meaning—the value of life—is that it can and must develop. He reminds us that to practice Ānāpānasati correctly is the most artful, the most artistic thing one can do.
This Dhamma teaching was offered by Tan Ajahn on 9th March 1989.
