Three Refuges & Three (of Twelve) Steps: Made a Decision ... To The Triple Gem | Ajahn Kovilo
From Clear Mountain Monastery Project · 46:16
Show by Clear Mountain Monastery
In this session, Ajahn Kovilo asks us to reflect on what each of the three refuges means to us; and examines the first three of the twelve steps of AA in light of the three characteristics (impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, & not-self) and in view of the Triple Gem (Buddha, Dhamma, Saṅgha): 1. We admitted we were powerless over impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and not-self— and that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Triple Gem, as we understood them.
