I trust you

Left to our own devices we would be alcoholics, insanely normal, on fire, cultists, workaholics [insert assessment] etc.
Can we be trusted to find our way?
Do we need the three jewels?
Can we trust others to be warnings or inspirations?
Perfection is for fantasists. The jewel reflects light from its flaws.
You are a potential Buddha. I can trust you . . .
Trust yourself.

The supreme spiritual teacher who knows all avenues of the mind, Knows how to tame it, I invest my trust in this teacher who can show me how to tame my mind.
The supreme spiritual nectar that is Buddhadharma I invest my trust in this as I do my kind teacher his words are non deceptive and methods for curing suffering, This supreme nectar is that which when consumed will result in blissful happiness, For there is no Greater bliss then that of the well tamed mind.
The supreme spiritual friends are the virtuous ones who are well trained and have tamed their mind they are well acquainted with the supreme spiritual nectar that is the Buddhadharma, They drink from it deeply, With their help I will abandon non virtuous conduct (by their example) and practice virtue as a means to attain great freedom and bliss.
The 3 Jewels are the Supreme refuge for those who seek happiness free from suffering.
