Who and/or what do Buddhists worship?

Buddhists trust in

1. The Buddha as a great teacher and exemplar
2. The Dharma, i.e. the Buddha’s teachings as a guide to enlightenment and essential truth and
3. The sangha, i.e. the Buddhist community, particularly monastic who teach the Dharma and guide one along the path to enlightenment. Veneration of this “Triple Gem” is central to Buddhist life.
