Buddhism: Three Jewels. Series 10.

Program on Buddhism, about the life of the Buddhist Sangha of Russia.
Three jewels of Buddhist doctrine - Triratna is a kind of symbol of Buddhist faith. The perception of the Buddha as a teacher and conductor, his dharma as a law, and a sangha as a community of like-minded people, is an indispensable attribute of the Buddhist worldview:
1. There is a Buddha - an absolutely enlightened, omniscient being who has reached the spiritual summits in a natural way through the development of the mind and heart in a long sequence of birth (samsara). The main of these summits are Enlightenment (Bodhi) and Calm (Nirvana), which signify the ultimate Liberation (Moksha) and the attainment of the highest goal of spiritual aspirations in Indian and other Oriental cultures, which is not available to the gods or saints of other religions.
2. There is Dharma - the Law revealed to the Enlightened. This Law is the semantic nucleus of the universe, according to it all processes take place outside and within human destinies, with its help one can understand the laws of life and society, the interconnectedness and interdependence of everything. This Buddha learned the law and informed the disciples in the form of the Word, the Text of the Sutras. The texts of the Law of Buddha have been transmitted obliquely for several centuries. In the I c. BC. e. they were first recorded in Pali. These writings formed the canon of the school of the theravadins (elders) and were called "Three baskets" (Skt. Tripitaka, in Pali - Tipitaka): "Text basket for monastic discipline and moral education" (Vinaya-Pitaka), "Text basket" (Sutra-Pitaka , in Pali - Sutta-Pitaka) and "Basket of texts of the highest law" (Abhidharma-pitaqa, in Pali - Abhidhamma-Pitaka). It was in baskets, wicker boxes, palm sheets of records of texts, distributed by departments, were stored. These names of the collection of the Word of Buddha have survived to this day, although in other schools the canons are meaningfully different.
3. There is a Sangha - a community of equals who have no property, mendicants (bhiksu, in Pali - bhikkhus), a community of law-bearers, custodians of knowledge and craftsmanship that follow the Buddha's path from generation to generation.
