Today is Wesak, the full moon that celebrates the Buddha's awakening. It's a good time to take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha.
According to the Dhammapada:
One who takes refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha, sees the Four Noble Truths:
- Suffering,
- the Cause of Suffering,
- the Cessation of Suffering,
- and the 8-fold Noble Path which leads to the Cessation of Suffering.
These are the 4 Truths that will bring us more "luck" than any 4-leaf clover.
