The Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha inter-are. Each jewel contains the other two. When you take refuge in one, you take refuge in all three. When you have confidence and trust in the Sangha and practice with the Sangha, you are expressing your confidence in the Buddha and the Dharma. It is crucial to practice the mindfulness trainings with a Sangha, a community of practice. You need a Sangha to support you in the practice. A true Sangha always possesses in it heart the Buddha and the Dharma.
