Refuge

Driven by fear, people run for security to
mountains and forests, to sacred spots and
shrines. But none of these can be a safe refuge,
because they cannot free the mind from fear.

Take refuge in the Buddha, the dharma, and the
sangha and you will grasp the Four Noble Truths:
suffering, the cause of suffering, the end of
suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path that takes
you beyond suffering. That is your best refuge, your
only refuge. When you reach it, all sorrow falls away.

~The Dhammapada, verses 188 - 192
