Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha Hoko-zan Butsugen-ji Main Hall Collection – "Tokkei Sanpou"

"Tokkei Sanpou" refers to a teaching found in Article 2 of Prince Shōtoku's Seventeen-Article Constitution. It emphasizes deep reverence for the Three Treasures—Buddha (the enlightened being), Dharma (the teachings of the Buddha), and Sangha (the community of monks who preserve and transmit the teachings). These Three Treasures represent the core values of Buddhism.

This teaching was intended to establish Buddhism as an ethical foundation for Japanese society, promoting harmony and stability.

Prince Shōtoku described the Three Treasures as "the ultimate refuge of all living beings and the supreme principle of all nations." He taught that Buddhism serves as the ultimate source of guidance for all life and stands as the highest teaching among world religions.

This philosophy reflects a commitment to pursuing both individual well-being and social harmony through Buddhism, a principle that remains significant even in the modern era.
