The middle part: To live following the teachings of the Buddha 1 ―The Three Treasures and the Six Kinds of Human Relationships―
Walk the path of Buddha, free from suffering.
To that end, the first necessity for this is devotion to the three treasures (Buddha, Dharma, and monks).
One: The Buddhas, the Buddha statues (Saviors for us from sufferings)
・His teachings and guidance are the finest medicine to cure illness, and the Buddha is the physician who cures our worries and sufferings.
↓
It is only with the guidance of the Buddha that we can walk the path even in the face of the reality of suffering.
Two: Buddhist laws (The teachings of the Buddha)
Three: Monks (They are trainees for Buddhism and the teachers who guide us with right knowledge.)
The role of temples ―Functioning as a base for all life―
Temples serve as the spiritual core of people living in villages and cities.
Two: As a sacred place where one can come in contact with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas through the sacred traditions and rituals.
Three: As a center for social activities based on wisdom and compassion and for expanding harmony.
All of us who share this sacred tradition first and foremost, should take refuge in these three treasures and follow them on the path.
