त्रिरत्न वन्दना (TRIRATNA CHANTING) | Prof. Dr. Kabindra Bajracharya | Suman Kapali

The Triratna (Triple Gem) – Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha The supreme mantra or sūtra for complete accomplishment is the Triratna - the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha. In any place where the teachings of the Buddha are shared, or in any activity related to the Buddha's path, we recite: “Namo Buddhāya, Namo Dharmāya, Namo Saṅghāya” and “Buddhaṃ Saraṇaṃ Gacchāmi, Dharmaṃ Saraṇaṃ Gacchāmi, Saṅghaṃ Saraṇaṃ Gacchāmi” These are not mere utterances - they are mantras and sūtras of deep meaning and transformative power. The Buddha The term Buddha refers to one who has awakened - who has seen reality as it is (yathābhūtaṃ), who has fully understood the nature of life, suffering, and existence. A Buddha is not simply a revered figure, but a being who has directly realized the truth of the world and of living beings. There may be reluctance in people to bow to such a being, yet it is precisely such awakened beings - Tathāgatas - who point us to liberation. The Dharma Dharma is wisdom, the timeless principle underlying life and the cosmos. It is not newly invented but rediscovered. The Buddha himself said: “This Dharma is pratītyasamutpanna (arising in dependence), existing in the past, present, and future.” Thus, Dharma is the universal law of conditionality - pratītyasamutpāda - which is always present. Those who realize this Dharma become Buddhas. It is the reality, the knowledge, the truth of life, and the world.  The Saṅgha When Buddhas experience this Dharma, they gain perfect realization and then teach others so they too may awaken. Those who listen, who aspire to understand this path, are the Saṅgha - the noble community, spiritual community. They can be monks, nuns, and Bodhisattva. We are all, in some way, part of this Saṅgha if we question deeply: “Who am I? What is this life? Where did I come from? Why was I born? Where will I go after death?” These are the questions of seekers. The Saṅgha is not just a religious order - it is the assembly of all those who seek the truth, who are virtuous, awakenening, and advancing along the noble path. The Interdependence of the Three Jewels These Three Jewels - Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha, are inseparably interconnected. Consider an analogy from medicine: The doctor is the Buddha, the medicine is the Dharma, and the nurse or caregiver who administers it is the Saṅgha. All three are needed to cure the illness of suffering (dukkha). Or in a school setting: The teacher is like the Buddha, the textbooks represent the Dharma, and fellow students learning together form the Saṅgha.Only when all three are present, does education flourish. Similarly, life is a journey: The destination is Buddhahood, the path is the Dharma, and the companions and guides are the Saṅgha.We must know where we are going, how we are going, and with whom we are going. When these three are aligned, our journey succeeds. The Living Power of the Triratna This sūtra-mantra is the formula for success in all aspects of life. Saying “Namo Buddhāya” connects us to all Buddhas of the past, present, and future—the Tathāgatas, Arhats, Pratyakbuddhas and Samyaksaṃbuddhas. Saying “Namo Dharmāya” aligns us with the eternal truth and purity of reality. Saying “Namo Saṅghāya” brings us into harmony with the noble companions who walk the same path. A Universal Formula Just as the Pythagorean Theorem, though discovered in another land, is a universal truth applicable even in any part of the world, so too the Dharma realized by the Buddha is a truth beyond time, culture, or boundary. What matters is whether it is true and transformative - not where or by whom it was discovered. The Dharma always exists; Buddhas arise from time to time to perceive and share it. The Saṅgha is composed of those who wish to hear and practice it. Let us also be Saṅgha, seekers who realize the Dharma in our lives and strive toward awakening. May we live remembering the Triratna - upon waking and before sleep: Namo Ratna Trayāya - "Homage to the Three Jewels." Let us be transformed by remembering the pure (Buddha), the true (Dharma), the noble (Sangha).
