	Save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
		We know even without going to the refuge that more than 130,000 caribou thunder across its rushing rivers and tend to their young in its greening tundra.
		In reality, there is less than a year's supply of oil in the refuge, and it would take 10 years to access it.
		Although 2005 brought amazing victories in the face of tremendous odds, drilling proponents have already announced they will try to attach Arctic drilling language to legislation in 2006, so the fight over America's premier wildlife sanctuary is not over by any means.

	Taking Refuge
		It is not even necessary to take refuge in a formal session with a teacher, but it may help to clarify your choice and to remember your commitment.

		And to take refuge in the sangha is to take refuge in the community of people who share this longing to let go and open rather than shield themselves.The support we give each other as practitioners is not the usual samsaric support in which we all join the same team and complain about someone else.

	THE FOUNDATION of BUDDHIST THOUGHT - A 45-Minute Session
		Of course taking refuge is really the mind moving into the refuge process - not so much to do with what we visualise - but many great masters from their own experience have found that to visualise the Buddha in front of us will help.
		The second traditional reason for taking refuge is because we have seen clearly that there is the possibility to eliminate those disturbing emotions and their results.
		We have talked about taking refuge in the Buddha, and I have emphasised that we really need to understand what a Buddha is and how we too can develop those qualities, so taking refuge is not that straightforward; it involves quite thorough and deep investigation.

		That's not the secure refuge, that's not the highest refuge, that's not the refuge, having gone to which, you gain release from all suffering and stress.
		Still, one of the Buddha's central teachings is that human life is fraught with dangers — from greed, anger, and delusion — and so the concept of refuge is central to the path of practice, in that the practice is aimed at gaining release from those dangers.
		The refuges in Buddhism — both on the internal and on the external levels — are the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha, also known as the Triple Gem.

	Outer and Inner Refuge
		The sources from whom one seeks refuge or to whom one goes for refuge are the Three Jewels, and these are the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
		The reason one goes for Refuge to them is that you recognize samsara as being a situation of suffering and fear.
		There's another style of refuge based on absolute reality where you go for refuge to the Three Jewels as something internal, as something that is part of your mind.
