सर्वोत्तम शरण
A refuge supreme
भयले तर्सिएका मानिसहरू धेरै शरणतिर जान्छन्— पहाड र वनतिर, उपवन र वृक्षका चैत्यतिर। त्यो सुरक्षित शरण होइन, त्यो सर्वोत्तम शरण होइन; त्यस्तो शरणमा गएर सबै दुःख र सन्तापबाट मुक्ति पाइँदैन। तर जब बुद्ध, धर्म र संघको शरणमा गएर सम्यक् प्रज्ञाले चार आर्यसत्य देख्नुहुन्छ— दुःख, दुःखको कारण, दुःखबाट पार हुनु, र दुःख शान्त पार्ने मार्ग, आर्य अष्टाङ्गिक मार्ग— त्यही सुरक्षित शरण हो, त्यही सर्वोत्तम शरण हो; त्यस्तो शरणमा गएर सबै दुःख र सन्तापबाट मुक्ति पाइन्छ।
They go to many a refuge, to mountains and forests, to park and tree shrines: people threatened with danger. That's not the secure refuge, not the supreme refuge, that's not the refuge, having gone to which, you gain release from all suffering & stress. But when, having gone to the Buddha, Dhamma, & Sangha for refuge, you see with right discernment the four noble truths — stress, the cause of stress, the transcending of stress, & the noble eightfold path, the way to the stilling of stress: that's the secure refuge, that, the supreme refuge, that is the refuge, having gone to which, you gain release from all suffering & stress.

त्रिरत्न (तिरतन)
The Triple Gem (tiratana)
“निश्चय नै भगवान् अर्हत् हुनुहुन्छ, सम्यक् सम्बुद्ध हुनुहुन्छ, विद्या र आचरणले सम्पन्न, सुगत, लोकलाई जान्ने, प्रशिक्षित हुन योग्य व्यक्तिहरूका अनुपम प्रशिक्षक, देवता र मानिसहरूका गुरु, बुद्ध, भगवान् हुनुहुन्छ...
"Indeed, the Blessed One is worthy and rightly self-awakened, consummate in knowledge & conduct, well-gone, an expert with regard to the world, unexcelled as a trainer for those people fit to be tamed, the Teacher of divine & human beings, awakened, blessed...
“भगवान्ले धर्म राम्ररी व्याख्या गर्नुभएको छ। यो यहीँ र अहिले देख्न सकिने, समय नपर्खने, जाँच्न निम्त्याउने, आफूमा उतार्न योग्य, विवेकीहरूले आफैँ जान्नुपर्ने हो...
"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One, to be seen here & now, timeless, inviting verification, pertinent, to be realized by the wise for themselves...
“भगवान्का शिष्यहरूको संघले राम्रो अभ्यास गरेको छ... सोझो अभ्यास गरेको छ... विधिपूर्वक अभ्यास गरेको छ... समुचित अभ्यास गरेको छ—अर्थात् जोडीका रूपमा चार प्रकारका [आर्य शिष्य], व्यक्तिगत प्रकारका रूपमा आठ—उनीहरू भगवान्का शिष्यहरूको संघ हुन्: दानयोग्य, आतिथ्ययोग्य, दक्षिणायोग्य, सम्मानयोग्य, लोकका लागि पुण्यको अनुपम क्षेत्र।”
"The Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples who have practiced well... who have practiced straight-forwardly... who have practiced methodically... who have practiced masterfully — in other words, the four types [of noble disciples] when taken as pairs, the eight when taken as individual types — they are the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples: worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of respect, the incomparable field of merit for the world."

पुण्यका प्रतिफल
Rewards of merit
“यहाँ आर्यहरूको कुनै शिष्य बुद्धको शरणमा गएको हुन्छ। यो पुण्यको पहिलो प्रतिफल हो, कुशलताको प्रतिफल, सुखको पोषण गर्ने, दिव्य, सुखदायी, स्वर्गतर्फ लैजाने, इच्छित, सुखद र मनपर्दो कुरातर्फ, हित र सुखतर्फ लैजाने हो।
"There is the case where a disciple of the noble ones has gone to the Buddha for refuge. This is the first reward of merit, reward of skillfulness, nourishment of happiness, celestial, resulting in happiness, leading to heaven, leading to what is desirable, pleasurable, & appealing; to welfare & to happiness.
“अझ, आर्यहरूको शिष्य धर्मको शरणमा गएको हुन्छ। यो पुण्यको दोस्रो प्रतिफल हो...
"Furthermore, the disciple of the noble ones has gone to the Dhamma for refuge. This is the second reward of merit...
“अझ, आर्यहरूको शिष्य संघको शरणमा गएको हुन्छ। यो पुण्यको तेस्रो प्रतिफल हो...”
"Furthermore, the disciple of the noble ones has gone to the Sangha for refuge. This is the third reward of merit..."

पीडाबाट जोगाउने शरण
A refuge from pain
यदि तपाईं पीडासँग डराउनुहुन्छ, यदि पीडा मन पर्दैन भने, बुद्धको शरणमा जानुहोस्, धर्म र संघको शरणमा जानुहोस्। शीलहरू ग्रहण गर्नुहोस्: त्यसले तपाईंलाई मुक्तितर्फ लैजान्छ।
If you're afraid of pain, if you dislike pain, go to the Awakened One for refuge, go to the Dhamma & Sangha. Take on the precepts: That will lead to your liberation.

एक गृहस्थको घोषणा
A householder's declaration
भगवान्ले यसरी बोल्नुभएपछि युवा गृहस्थ सिगालले यसो भने:
When the Exalted One had spoken thus, Sigala, the young householder, said as follows:
“अति उत्तम, भन्ते, अति उत्तम! भन्ते, जसरी कसैले घोप्टिएको कुरालाई सीधा पारिदिन्छ, लुकेको कुरा उघारिदिन्छ, बाटो बिराएकालाई बाटो देखाइदिन्छ, वा आँखा हुनेहरूले देख्न सकून् भनी अन्धकारमा बत्ती बालिदिन्छ, त्यसैगरी भगवान्ले विभिन्न प्रकारले धर्म प्रस्ट पार्नुभएको छ।
"Excellent, Lord, excellent! It is as if, Lord, a man were to set upright that which was overturned, or were to reveal that which was hidden, or were to point out the way to one who had gone astray, or were to hold a lamp amidst the darkness, so that those who have eyes may see. Even so, has the doctrine been explained in various ways by the Exalted One.
“भन्ते, म बुद्ध, धर्म र संघको शरणमा जान्छु। भगवान्ले मलाई आजदेखि जीवनको अन्त्यसम्म शरण गएको उपासकका रूपमा स्वीकार गर्नुहोस्।”
