We should take refuge in the Triple Gem of our own nature the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. We take refuge in our innate Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha: to have the Buddha in our minds, to practise the Dharma in our daily life, and to emulate the Sangha by observing the precepts.
人应当自做皈依，皈依自性三宝， 自己皈依自己的佛、法、僧， 佛在心中，法在行中，僧在戒中。
– Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
