Die Zufluchtnahme ist ein zentraler Begriff im Buddhismus
Man nimmt zu den 3 Juwelen Buddha, Dharma und Sangha Zuflucht

Es geht dabei nicht darum,damit in einer Höhle zu leben, sondern die Erkenntnisse in den Alltag zu integrieren und das Leben entsprechend auszurichten.

Diese Bild ist ein Makro-Ausschnitt einer buddh. Statue, wobei mich die "Zähne" in Zweierreihe an Personen erinnern, die vor einer Höhle meditieren.
Touched by Light
The light opens — warm, wordless, wide.
No need to chase the sky.
I bow to breath, to bones, to broom.
This moment is enough.
Wat Matchimawat, Songkhla, Thailand. 1974. Scanned transparency. “Three Jewels” - the Buddha, the Dhamma (the four noble truths, including the eight-fold path) and the Sangha (the order of monks) – are the refuge of the Theravada Buddhist.
It translates to "I go to the Buddha for refuge, I go to the Dhamma for refuge, I go to the Sangha for refuge." This phrase is a core part of Buddhist practice, signifying the taking of refuge in the Three Jewels
The bell rings softly—
not a call to act,
not a command to stay.
In stillness the sangha breathes,
in movement the sangha breathes.
Even a thought of service
is service,
if held with care.
Sit, breathe,
and when the time comes,
the bell will find you.
Stormy morning mist and rain over the the banks of the Sangha river, which runs between Congo, Central African Republic and Cameroon, 26 Sept 2015. I was travelling by boat from Bomassa, the headquarters of the Nouabale Ndoki National Park to Ouesso, the main town in northern Congo.
Grief entered the room,
and the sangha made room.
Fear entered your belly,
and breath made room.
This afternoon,
let the words be few—
a bell,
a pause,
a hand held in silence.
Breath without boundary,
The koan rides the silence —
No thought, no time, no self.
Just this creamy stillness,
Drinking the whole sky.
A monk in Thailand is treated with great respect, and the institution itself is highly revered. The Sangha is the official Order of Monks. Becoming a monk in Thailand is a way of earning honor or merit for one's parents. Those who cannot become full-pledged monks, perhaps due to financial obligations to the family, for example, may do a 3-month Buddhist retreat instead as a short period of service to the monastery.
This photo shows a monk who has served and is about to leave the monastery. You will see the older ordained monks in the front near the altar giving their blessings.
I posted a second photo to show the beauty of the Buddha in this temple. This is in the Marble temple, the only temple in Thailand made of Italian marble. The King at the time of this temple's construction was raised and studied in the West, and had a fancy for things European, thus this marble temple.
Good night my friends. It is almost midnight and time to go to sleep! See you in the morning!

Simon led a poetry workshop looking into the question, "Where does poetry come from?" We discussed some ideas about that and then explored it experientially, reading poems and writing on that subject.
George followed up with an evening where people were asked to bring their own work or a poem that really touched their heart. We went on with Simon's inquiry. Each poem was read twice in a context of sitting together. During the second reading we were free to brainstorm our responses on paper, drawing on each other's language, imagery and energy. This material can then be drawn on for further personal writing.
Small village on banks of river; Ngombe on Sangha River, Sangha Region, Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) 1996
Sunrise on the river Sangha in northern Congo. The Sangha is one of the main access points to the Nouabale-Ndoki National Park. The Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park (NNNP) covers over 4,000km² of intact lowland rainforest in northern #Congo, harboring important populations of large mammals, including forest elephants, western lowland gorillas and chimpanzees. #landscape

Dans le parc du Temple Wat Thammapathip, j’ai la chance d’assister à la cérémonie Sangha Dana qui consiste à offrir de la nourriture aux moines bouddhistes.
Cet acte de générosité permet aux laïcs d’accumuler du mérite spirituel tout en soutenant matériellement les moines (nourriture, vêtements, médicaments, etc.).
Elle symbolise le lien entre la communauté laïque et la communauté monastique.
Lon carrying gear in wheelbarrow; Pokola, Ouesso, Sangha Region, Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) 1996. We showed up uninvited to Pokola, a company town. People invited us to stay at their house and were very friendly. The company probably didn't know what to think of us, and although we didn't have any direct contact with them, they didn't seem to object to our coming there.

at the 1st ever people of color mindfulness retreat hosted by Deer Park Monastery in 2004.
the monastery, located in escondido,ca, was established by the Buddhist monks and nuns of the Thich Nhat Hanh tradition from viet nam. it is named after the park near the city of benares in ancient India where over 2,500 years ago, Shaykamuni Buddha gave his 1st teaching after attaining enlightenment. this teaching became known as "Turning the Dharma Wheel."
