Q: What is the difference between adhering to the Triple Gem rationally versus irrationally, and what constitutes the true "internal" refuge?
A: To adhere to the religion irrationally is to follow it blindly based on custom or the words of others without investigating whether the practices are truly good, much like accepting counterfeit money without discernment. Rational adherence, conversely, involves following the principles of informed knowledge and checking practices against the standards established by the Buddha—specifically rejecting behaviors that lead to passion, suffering, or the accumulation of defilement. While external symbols like Buddha images (the "bark" of the tree) and the study of texts are valuable, the true, internal refuge is built by developing the qualities of the Buddha within oneself: virtue, concentration, and discernment. Ultimately, the self must be its own refuge; by cultivating these inner qualities, one creates a reliable shelter that remains even when the physical body dies.
