皈依三宝
Take refuge in the Three Triple Gems
学佛的人，为了解脱三恶趣的怖畏，和流转生死的痛苦，皈依三宝，仰求救护，就必须以佛为师，以法为药，以僧为友，好好的学习佛陀，奉行教法，亲近僧众，就能离恶向善，转黑暗为光明，离苦得安乐。
Those who practice Buddhism, in order to liberate themselves from the fear of the three evil destinies and the suffering of birth and death, take refuge in the Triple Gem. By studying the teachings of the Buddha diligently, following the Dharma, and associating with fellow practitioners, they can move away from evil and sufferings and find peace and happiness.
受持五戒
Observing 5 Precepts
社会的安宁来自心灵的净化与纯洁，当心清净时，内心将感到安祥、平和，生活将会过得安乐、和谐。是故佛教提倡在家居士受持五戒。
五戒是一种理想的生活方式。它约束佛弟子，避免有不良的行为，同时培养良好的品德。试想当今的社会混乱、暴力及种种的犯罪事件，多因没有五戒的约束。受持五戒的利益：
1. 不殺生－－可以增長福壽
2. 不偷盜－－可以莊重人格
3. 不邪淫－－可以嚴律品德
4. 不妄語－－可以樹立威信
5 .不飲酒－－可以培養智慧

Social tranquility comes from the purification and purity of the mind. When the mind is pure, the inner self will feel peaceful and calm, and life will be filled with peace and harmony. Therefore, Buddhism advocates that lay followers observe the Five Precepts.
The Five Precepts represent an ideal way of life. They restrain Buddhist disciples from engaging in harmful behaviors and cultivate good virtues. Imagine the chaos, violence, and various crimes in today’s society, which often occur due to the lack of adherence to the Five Precepts. The benefits of observing the Five Precepts:
1. Abstaining from the taking of life leads to longevity
2. Abstaining from stealing leads to prosperity
3. Abstaining from sexual misconduct leads to popularity
4. Abstaining from false speech leads to a good reputation
5. Abstaining from intoxicants leads to mindfulness and wisdom

The buddha
Refers to the historical Buddha who attained Perfect Enlightenment, Awakening or Nirvana. He attained the state of perfection through his own efforts, demonstrating that it is a humanly possible feat.
The Dharma
Refers to the Teachings of the Buddha. Through the Teachings, Lord Buddha showed us the way in which we too can perfect ourselves and attain Enlightenment.
The Sangha
Refers to the monastic community of ordained Buddhist monks and nuns.
Taking refuge in the Buddha, we aspire to attain the perfection he attained. Taking refuge in the Dharma, we apply the Teachings of the Buddha in our lives to change our negative mental habits that bring about much stress and suffering. Taking refuge in the Sangha, we take them as our inspiration and guide, while supporting them in whatever ways we can.
