REFLECTION
1. All persons and phenomena exist in dependence on other factors. There are three types of dependence: causal dependence (for
impermanent things only), mutual dependence, and mere designation by terms and concept.
2. Dependent arising contradicts the possibility of independent or inherent existence. Understanding this can eradicate grasping
inherent existence, the root of our duḥkha in cyclic existence.
3. The wisdom that eradicates ignorance (the true paths) and the freedom from duḥkha that comes about due to it (true cessations)
are the Dharma Jewel.
4. People who have actualized the Dharma Jewel in their minds are the Saṅgha Jewel and the Buddha Jewel. Thus the Three Jewels
of refuge exist.
