LC1203 - 9 Virtues of The Buddha part 2

Vol 12 - Take Refuge in The Buddha Dhamma Sangha Some of the talks included in this CD seem to be basic and general, but the late Venerable chose to frequently repeat them so that devotees would learn them again and again in a systematic manner. First he introduced the Buddha, His great qualities and His teachings, to be followed by how one can practice Buddhism and how one should lead a peaceful life. Buddhists have often been criticized for seeking refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha (the Triple Gems) which appears to be contrary to the Buddha’s explicit advice to His followers not to seek refuge in others. When Buddhists take refuge in and pay homage to the Triple Gems consciously, devotionally and with understanding, it means that they accept the Triple Gems as their guidance. They do so not out of fear or to seek material favours but to gain inspiration, confidence and right understanding for their self-purification. Buddhism is a religion of personal freedom which do not restrict one’s affairs so long as they are not immoral or harmful to him/her and to others. It gives due credit to man’s intelligence and effort to gain peace and eternal salvation. Unfortunately, many Buddhists do not appreciate the value of such freedom. The late Venerable Dr K Sri Dhammananda (1919-2006) began his Dhammaduta work in Malaysia in 1952. Over the years, he delivered more than 5600 talks and also authored more than 55 publications. We are grateful to the Anatta Group for leading the project in re-compiling and editing the talks delivered by the late Venerable.
