Therefore, every step has a particular attribute. This is to go for refuge at the causal stage. If you can keep advancing as such and continue until you are completely in concordance with the teaching, then the end will be the fruit produced by the refuge. What is this effect produced by the refuge? You will become a Buddha. That is it. You will become a Buddha. When we talk about Buddhism, there are certainly the three different vehicles. What do the three vehicles differ on? On the spirit of enlightenment. Thus to go one level deeper in refuge, the perfect object of refuge is what? It is the great spirit of enlightenment. This is it. Thus you need to possess this.
