  Basel Three Pillars
Pillar 2 ” Supervisors will evaluate the activities and risk profiles of individual banks to determine whether those organisations should hold higher levels of capital than the minimum requirements in Pillar 1 would specify and to see whether there is any need for remedial actions.
Three options are available to allow banks and supervisors to choose an approach that seems most appropriate for the sophistication of a bank’s activities and internal controls.
“Pillar 2” of the new capital framework recognises the necessity of exercising effective supervisory review of banks’ internal assessments of their overall risks to ensure that bank management is exercising sound judgement and has set aside adequate capital for these risks.

  Three pillars of the European Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the CFSP and PJCC pillars the powers of the European Parliament, the Commission and European Court of Justice with respect to the Council are significantly limited, without however being altogether eliminated.
The balance struck in the first pillar is frequently referred to as the "community method", since it is that used by the European Community.
As such the European Community is to be fully absorbed into the European Union and the three pillars of the EU are to be merged into a single structure.

 Pillars and globes, columns and candlesticks
A set of three pillars was mentioned in the records of the Nelson Lodge in 1757, and the Lodge of Relief, Bury, purchased a set of three pillars, for W.M., S.W. and J.W., in 1761.
The "two pillars" used in the early ceremonies were drawn on the floor of the lodge, or on a floor-sheet, with three candles, in the form of a triangle, to illuminate them.
And so we can trace the three pillars from their first introduction, as a purely symbolical question in the catechisms, through the period when their symbolism was expanded, until they were equated with specific architectural styles.

 Three Pillars of LDS Apostasy
There is some overlap between all three, and some overlap between the top two that do not also overlap with the bottom one (representing the truth).
The third pillar mentioned addresses the foundation of our personal walk with God -- the mighty change of heart whereby we become anchored on the rock of Jesus Christ, which is the only sure foundation.
I am also confident that each of these three is in keeping with core LDS teachings that have been given since the time of the Restoration through Joseph Smith, and which even find their way into the most current General Conferences of the Church.

 Three Pillars of Love
In The Three Abrahamic Covenants and the Car-Passing Trick, and The Foundations of Jewish Survival, I try to make it clear that each of the three phases of the Abrahamic traditions necessarily includes the highest qualities of the other two, while at the same time, each is the primary representative of only one.
The problem with this mode is that it is often advocated as enabling a reconciliation among all three of the faiths that derive from Abraham, when in fact it only represents two, and thus excludes one.
The higher love, the love advocated in all three of the Abrahamic phases, the love that can be a unifying force, includes not only unlimited compassion and submission, but it also includes reason, integrity, and context.

 Movement as Network: Three Pillars of Social Source   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
These “three pillars” include the “application developer”, the “application integrator” and the “application hoster.” Drawing clearer distinctions between these roles will help nonprofit technology assistance providers clarify their organizational missions, which will reduce competitive overlap and pave the way for improved collaboration between organizations.
My last three years at Microsoft were spent learning this lesson the hard way while working on b-Central, the company’s first, and I’m guessing last, foray into serving businesses directly through an ASP model.
Luckily, we have Aspiration beginning to play this role for the application developer pillar and N-TEN which is to some degree playing this role for the application integrator segment of nonprofit technology (though its focus is currently divided amongst tool builders, integrators and their nonprofit clients).

 thezensite: Zen Teaching, Zen Practice: Philip Kapleau and The Three Pillars of Zen book review
Kraft points out that Kapleau’s book is “in large measure a book about kensho” (p.14) which in itself is problematic as for many, including some of the authors of the essays, this led to “inflated expectations… [and] [t]he discrepancy between anticipatory visions of enlightenment and actual experiences of insight”.
While this emphasis on and almost inevitability of kensho is, I think, a fair criticism of The Three Pillars of Zen, there is little doubt that Kapleau’s book brought many people to the study and practice of Zen Buddhism and for that we should be grateful.
Given the historical context of Zen Buddhism in the West when The Three Pillars of Zen was published in 1965, when books and teachings on the actual Zen practice of zazen were thin indeed on the ground, and the book’s immense popularity among seekers of the Way, one needs to temper one’s criticism.

 The Three Pillars of Licensed Psychotherapy
It is useful to look at the profession of psychotherapy as composed of three elements: prescription, case management, and empathic communication:
Based on expert knowledge, the therapist is able to prescribe behavioral and pharmacological interventions that relieve the client's symptoms or helps solve the client's problem in a way that is recognized as valuable by the client.
All three of these elements are equally important to the successful practice of licensed psychotherapy and clinical psychology within the medical model.
