English	Sacrifices on such a scale are not always easy to make, but you can certainly remember the Three Jewels in all your activities throughout the day, no matter whether you are happy or sad. If you see a beautiful landscape, flowers, or anything wonderful and inspiring, offer it mentally to the Three Jewels. When good circumstances or events arise, see them as the blessing and kindness of the Three Jewels. Regard all sicknesses and obstacles, without complaint, as their blessings in disguise that will enable you to purify your past negative karma. When confronted with great danger, or with terrifying situations, call upon the Three Jewels for assistance. At that very moment, the blessings of the Three Jewels will grant you protection. When you practice taking refuge in this manner, refuge will become an inherent part of your stream of consciousness.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
