THREE JEWELS OF BUDDHISM
posted on 06 Dec 2007 20:50 by dzibeads in DharmaIn Buddhism there are many items that are sacred, but the Three Jewels of Buddhism are the very corner stones of this religion and its beliefs.
The Three Jewels are Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
Several parts of Buddhism make up the core of this religion. They include the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, both of which are beliefs that were developed by the Buddha when he was enlightened by meditation. The Three Jewels of Buddhism( or Three Treasure) are similar, but they can also be seen as the three things that Buddhists actually "give" themselves to in order to belong to this religion.
The Three Jewels (or three treasures) are also known as the "Gachchamis".

The Buddha : The first of these, Buddha, is stated as "Buddham sharanam gachchami" and means "I go to the feet of the Awakened One". The Buddha, as referenced in this jewel, can be taken to mean the historical Buddha Shakya Muni, or to mean the Buddha's nature or ideal within every human being. Buddha can also be taken to mean Buddhahood or the attainment of Buddhahood, meaning finding the pinnacle of your spiritual and life potential. The name the Three Jewels or the Three Gems also comes from the Buddha, who was known as the Diamond Mind.
