Dhammapada Verse 14.14

Sanskrit Verse

एतत् खलु शरणं क्षेमं एतत् शरणमुत्तमम् । एतत् शरणमागम्य सर्वदुःखात् प्रमुच्यते ॥ १४॥

Bhikkhu Ānandajoti's translation

(One who has gone for refuge to the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha, penetrates with wisdom the Four Noble Truths—suffering, the cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the Noble Eightfold Path leading to the cessation of suffering.) This, indeed, is the safe refuge, this is the refuge supreme. Having gone to such a refuge, one is released from all suffering.
