Buddham Sharanam Gacchami | The three Jevels | बुद्धं शरणं गच्छामि

The most powerful recitation to take refuge in the Three Jewels in Buddhism:

Buddham Sharanam Gachchami
I take refuge in the Buddha.
बुद्धं शरणं गच्छामि

Dhammam Sharanam Gachchami
I take refuge in the Dharma.
धम्मं शरणं गच्छामि

Sangham Sharanam Gachchami
I take refuge in the Sangha
संघं शरणं गच्छामि

"Buddham Sharanam Gacchami" is a phrase in Pali, an ancient language closely related to the language spoken by the Buddha. It translates to "I take refuge in the Buddha" and is one of the three parts of the Triratna or Three Jewels in Buddhism, which also include "Dhammam Sharanam Gacchami" (I take refuge in the Dharma) and "Sangham Sharanam Gacchami" (I take refuge in the Sangha). The act of taking refuge in these three elements is a fundamental expression of commitment and faith in Buddhism, symbolizing a practitioner's decision to follow the Buddhist path and acknowledging the Buddha as the guide, the Dharma as the path, and the Sangha as the community of fellow practitioners.

1. The Buddha is without beginning, middle and end. The Buddha is peace. The Buddha is uncompounded (asamskrta), and spontaneous (anabhoga) Dharmakaya. The Buddha is self-enlightened and self arisen wisdom (jñana), compassion and power for the benefit of others.

2. The Dharma is described as the reality which is cessation. This is described as neither existence nor non-existence. It is non-conceptual reality as well as the reality of the path which consists of luminous and stainless jñana that removes all defilement. It is also equated with the dharmakaya.

3. The Sangha refers to those beings who realize the true luminous nature of the mind and the "full extent of what is" (yavad bhavikataya) as well as the supreme qualities that make them a refuge

In Buddhism, refuge or taking refuge refers to a religious practice, which often includes a prayer or recitation performed at the beginning of the day or of a practice session. Since the period of Early Buddhism all Theravada and mainstream Mahayana schools only take refuge in the Three Jewels (also known as the Triple Gem or Three Refuges, Pali: ti-ratana or ratana-ttaya; Sanskrit: tri-ratna or ratna-traya), which are the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.

For Mahayana Buddhism, the Buddha jewel includes innumerable Buddhas (like Amitabha, Vajradhara and Vairocana), not just Sakyamuni Buddha.
Likewise, the Dharma jewel includes the Mahayana sutras and (for certain sects of Mahayana) may also include the Buddhist tantras, not just the Tipitaka.
Finally, the Sangha jewel includes numerous beings that are not part of the monastic sangha proper, including high level bodhisattvas like Avalokiteshvara, Vajrapani, Manjushri and so on.
