Like the bright light in a dark room, the Three Jewels is a compass for people on a crossroad, a compassionate ship in the sea of sufferings, a timely rain for a burning house, a treasure for the poor, a good medicine for the sick.
One who takes refuge to the Three Jewels is like a prisoner released from jail, a son returning home, a deluded one approaching enlightenment, the suffered attaining happiness, and a reversal of a falling one.
