1/13/21 - The Triple Gem Part 1: A Brief History of Buddhist Bling

In this week’s episode we explore both the history and practical aspects of the ancient ritual of taking refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. We discuss how this ritual evolved out of pre-Buddhist culture and then supported meditators for several thousand years. We also consider how this practice shows up in present day American Buddhism and continues to offer us encouragement, protection and sustenance on our path towards awakening.
