 +They go to many a refuge,
 + to mountains and forests,
 + to park and tree shrines:
 +people threatened with danger.
 +That's not the secure refuge,
 + not the supreme refuge,
 +that's not the refuge,
 +having gone to which,
 + you gain [[:en:ptf:dhamma:sacca:sacca3:nibbana|release]]
 + from all [[:en:ptf:dhamma:sacca:sacca1:dukkha|suffering & stress]].
 +
 +But when, having gone
 +to the [[buddha|Buddha]], [[.:dhamma:index|Dhamma]],
 +& [[sangha|Sangha]] for refuge,
 +you see with right discernment
 +the [[:en:ptf:dhamma:sacca:index|four noble truths]] 
 +[[:en:ptf:dhamma:sacca:sacca1:index|stress]],
 + the [[:en:ptf:dhamma:sacca:sacca2:index|cause of stress]],
 +[[:en:ptf:dhamma:sacca:sacca3:index|the transcending of stress]],
 +& the [[:en:ptf:dhamma:sacca:sacca4:index|noble eightfold path]],
 + the way to the stilling of stress:
 +that's the secure refuge,
 +that, the supreme refuge,
 +that is the refuge,
 +having gone to which,
 + you gain release
 + from all suffering & stress.

 +"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One, to be seen here & now, timeless, inviting verification, pertinent, to be realized by the wise for themselves...

 +"The Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples who have practiced well... who have practiced straight-forwardly... who have practiced methodically... who have practiced masterfully — in other words, the [[sangha#types4|four types]] [of noble disciples] when taken as pairs, the [[sangha#indiv8|eight when taken as individual types]] — they are the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples: worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of respect, the incomparable field of merit for the world."

 +
 +<div excerpt>When the Exalted One had spoken thus, Sigala, the young householder, said as follows:
 +
 +"Excellent, Lord, excellent! It is as if, Lord, a man were to set upright that which was overturned, or were to reveal that which was hidden, or were to point out the way to one who had gone astray, or were to hold a lamp amidst the darkness, so that those who have eyes may see. Even so, has the [[.:dhamma:index|doctrine]] been explained in various ways by the Exalted One.
 +
 +"I take refuge, Lord, in the [[buddha|Buddha]], the [[.:dhamma:index|Dhamma]], and the [[sangha|Sangha]]. May the Exalted One receive me as a lay follower; as one who has taken refuge from this very day to life's end."
