There‘s this expression of taking refuge – taking refuge in the dharma, the sangha, the buddha. And I never really took a closer look, but recently in a talk the issue of taking refuge came up for me.
Because we all take refuge. We take refuge in media. In substances. In fantasies. We do it more or less consciously, but we do it all the time. And this is worth checking out, because that‘s where we turn away from something and towards something else.
Is this what we want?
