The Triple Gem

The Triple Gem

What are you really leaning on when life feels shaky — and is it actually helping?

In this warm and deeply personal talk, teacher Lisa Murphy invites us to look honestly at where we seek refuge, and whether those refuges are truly setting us free.

Drawing on her own experience of a moving retreat ritual — a red string tied with three knots, one for each of the Three Refuges — Lisa explores what it means to consciously take shelter in the Triple Gem: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. This isn't a scholarly lecture; it's an intimate reflection on how these ancient teachings come alive in the texture of ordinary life.

You'll discover why the Buddha isn't about worship but about trusting your own capacity to awaken, why the Dharma is only real when we actually live it, and why community may be the most underestimated spiritual practice of all. As Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us, the Buddha of the 21st century may not be an individual — but a sangha practicing loving-kindness together.

Simple, honest, and quietly profound — this episode is an invitation to stop seeking refuge in what only numbs, and to begin returning, again and again, to awareness, truth, and love.
