It is difficult to be born a human;
Difficult is the life of mortals;
It is difficult to hear the true Dharma;
Difficult is the arising of the Buddhas.
Doing no evil,
Engaging in what is skilful,
And purifying one’s mind:
This is the teaching of the Buddhas.

“We must completely entrust ourselves to the Three Jewels of Refuge: to the Buddha, the true teacher; to the Dharma, the true protection; and to the Sangha the true guides. We must not take Refuge just with our words, but from our hearts, having developed the complete confidence that the Three Refuges will never disappoint us”.
From “The Opening of the Dharma” by
Naomi Shihab Nye
