Knowing Buddha

Knowing Buddha

by Shrikant Prasoon


Maha Bodhi Society of India writes in its foreword, ‘Knowing Buddha is a well planned and richly written book... has achieved a rare balance between reason and emotion, in keeping with the great and sublime tradition and teaching of the Buddha and his Middle Path’.


When people ask, ‘What do you have to do to become a Buddhist?’ we say that we take refuge in Buddha Dhamma Sangha. And to take refuge we recite a formula in the Pali language: 


Buddham sharanam gachhami

I go to the Buddha for refuge.


Sangham sharanam gachhami

I go to the Sangha for refuge.


Dhammam sharanam gachhami

I go to the Dhamma for refuge
