refuge precepts

Having taken refuge in the Buddha, one should not bow down to non-Buddhist mundane gods. Having taken refuge in the Dharma, one should not cause harm to sentient beings. Having taken refuge in the Sangha, one should not keep the company of non-Buddhist friends. One should keep faith in, respect, and admiration for sacred images, even down to a piece of tsa tsa; for the scriptures, even down to a single letter; and for the sacred robes, even down to a piece of saffron-colored cloth.

One should follow sublime spiritual teachers; study, reflect upon, and practice this sacred Dharma; and having entered this gateway of these teachings of the Victorious One, one should not let these senses run rampant toward sense objects, but cherish these trainings.

In addition, according to Ngari Panchen:

1) One should not abandon these Three Jewels for gifts, or even at the cost of one's life.

2) One should not seek other means even in dire need.

3) One should not omit the time for worship, but

4) establish self and others in the refuge.

5) One should pay homage to the buddha of the direction to which one is going.

These five were accepted by Atisha as being general teachings. (JOKYAB
