【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- Obtain the substance (essence) of the refuge

【you should count as Buddhists those who have obtained  and not forsaken their refuge.】

Once you have obtained refuge and have not forsaken the refuge, then you should count as Buddhists. Pay attention to something here! "Obtained" refuge. When you go for refuge, there is something which you obtain. When you obtain the refuge, what is it exactly? It is this, to obtain the substance (essence) of the refuge. Up until now, you should remember this, there is a substance to refuge. For the real meaning of this substance, I will gradually, gradually explain it to you in detail later. This is very important, very important! Therefore, we should learn this diligently. Once you obtain this, make note of this everyone, you will at least be reborn in heaven. If you should want to go to the Pure Land, you will certainly be reborn there. This is the real meaning behind refuge. Therefore, what is said to be learned in many places of the text later, we will be learning exactly this, learning exactly this (refuge).
