The Triple Gems are the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha.

Buddha is “The Fully Enlightened One” or “The Awakened One”. It is the title given to those who have attained supreme and perfect Enlightment.

Dhamma is the Teachings of the Buddha about nature of life.

Sangha are the fourfold community of monks, nuns, male and female lay followers, who practice and uphold the Buddha’s teachings.
