traditional of taking refuge is actually a course very deeply rooted in your tradition, so there for something that I don't have to explain an sort of appreciate let said but in this case it has a good reason why it says that because somehow there is is almost unnecessary yeah! meaning that the logic is thats should we take any a refuge that is something worldly then there is actually no need to take refuge in the Buddha itself all the, all three refuge, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha and so therefore this is something that we have to keep in mind and doesn't mean that, how to say somehow by saying thats we the disregards any other tradition or culture or religions and so on and this is not the case we do respect yeah! we do how to say develop high regard for the for their own qualities excellence and so on but not in terms of taking refuge because what we seek samyaksambuddha so there for the while aiming for that if you take refuge in something that will not grant that, you know sort of unnecessary yeah. so that why let says that we should not take refuge in any other worldly deity beings and so on yeah! so that is the main thing and then while we have to take a review because we have taken refuge in the Dharma of Buddha Dharma then also similarly we would not follow any other worldly Dharma,yeah! meaning any other knowledge or information that is not according to Buddha Dharma Dharma that will, Dharma contains thats explain this liberation now the middle and virtuous at end so therefore we develop respect for that the time to develop respect for the person is much later well to put it simply when one does person has truly reached liberation let say in there is no more of that no the person doesn't have normal doesn't have anymore the some samsaric habitual patterns so as a result then. there's no difference no but till then a person in would more less resemble to someone who who has and some samsaric habitual patterns and so therefore the lot flows we we cannot take refuge in the flows and we can only take refuge in the qualities yes, yeah! to them take refuge so therefore any individual be its let says men or women who have were ordained themselves and those who have and now let says adopt the arhats or Bhikkhu Bhikkhuni ropes we must develop respect yeah! it said even to the point of respecting developed for the colors such as the color.such as maroon or red or yellow orange or any of those because those are colors that are that advice to wear by the monks and nuns by Buddha I think in brief it's like that but overall it says that although we have the three we refuge source and references ultimately it's the Buddha himself or we can't Buddha himself Buddha! because Buddha itself will Buddha self the meaning that Dharma and the sangha actually stands out from the Buddha as the a as a was due to the compassion of Buddha and that there is Dharma and Sangha so ultimately it is the Buddha, Buddha would be basically and this case the most important refuge of all from the three. so when we say taking refuge in the Buddha it means that relating thats to an idea but we all have actually you know is not something external or something new actually something that we all have yeah! idea could be wish could be a wish you could be a aspiration it could be a dream but something that we all have from in the moment we can't think almost meaning that's the very ideals of to be free let's say you know it comes out that wish or no idea comes out every now and again in terms of if you're in this situational difficulty naturally we want freedom if we caught in situation where we meet earlier come across unpleasant lunch yes enlightenment and food powerful them so is unpleasant circumstances then again we feel I wish I had never met or i wish i could escape from it so again that's wishing for that freedom this again there automatically, no no one has to teach us no one has to somehow force us or in any way this naturally there. so the ideal liberation is always there in all sentient beings meaning just us as human beings you know so it's innately their without having to him teach us so we're not really a adopting that ideal seeking refuge in the Buddha is not something that we adopt you see its already there it's just that we need secondly the Buddha Dharma or refuge of Dharmaratna to somehow make us understand this idea that wish that he had for a long time so it hopes to hopes to open it exactly what we're seeking for what kinda liberation what kinda freedom that you're seeking for then it becomes clear yeah so until then we do know we do want we are very certain that we want freedom but don't know where to begin and even though we just lets say stubbornly let says start a way always because we don't a ways so we keep on making mistakes here retake wrong turns deviate from the from the actual path so that's way yeah that's why I said that rufuge Buddha is very important that for Buddha Dharma in terms of i was saying all this to actually explain thats we have innate wish for enlightenment and so therefore the the ideal Buddha for the idea of samyaksambuddha or refuge of Buddha is yeah! is basically not something that is new it is it is there just innately and just that we have to use now others experience others words others gestures others behavior others expertise you know but depending on that then we become closer and closer to understanding what this liberation is so therefore now with the wished to to fully explore to fully understand and wish that you all of us have wish that all you have take refuge into three jewels
