Tiratana & 12 Spoked Dhamma Wheel | Dhammagiri T-Shirts Second Batch | Ajahn Dhammasiha
Manage episode 418093492 series 3403187
To commence free distribution of our Dhammagiri Tees 2nd batch, Ajahn Dhammasiha goes through the meaning of every symbol and writing on the shirt:
1. Twelve spoked Dhammacakka (Dhamma Wheel)
2. Tiratana (Three Jewels)
- with Trident symbolizing Triple Gem
- Vajira (Diamond/Thunder Bolt) symbolizing the power of wisdom that can cut defilements in the mind, just like a diamond that is harder than any other stone, or like a flach of lighting that can destroy the darkness of delusion
- Lotus symbolizing the potential to rise above the dirt of the world to a state of total purity
- 8 Petals of the lotus symbolizing the Noble 8-Fold Path leading to that purity.
3. Tisaraṇa (Triple Refuge) - The Pali formula of going for refuge to the Triple Gem of Buddha, Dhamma & Sangha. This apparently simple declaration actually has profound implications. If we're truly taking refuge in Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha, than we're also endeavoring:
- To keep the 5 Precepts and establish ourselves in Virtue
- To practise generosity and kindness
- To develop the Divine Abodes of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy & Equanimity
- To cultivate calm, tranquility, peacefulness and concentration
- To develop mindfulness, awareness, wisdom, insight, knowledge, understanding.
