How One Becomes a Buddhist

How One Becomes a Buddhist

Dharmasara shares his experience of a three-month retreat in the mountains and reflects on the meaning of becoming a Buddhist. Dharmasara explains that being a Buddhist involves going for refuge to the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. He says that these are the three aspects of Buddhism that can help us develop ourselves, overcome suffering, and attain enlightenment, describing what each of these aspects means and how to practice them in our daily lives. Dharmasara concludes by quoting Sangharakshita, who summarises the three processes of turning around that happen when we convert to Buddhism: from limited ideals to an absolute transcendental ideal, from our little systems or habits or views to a path based on unchanging spiritual principles and truths, and from meaningless worldly contact to meaningful communication.
