The central focus of inspiration and devotion for BATMANs is the Triple Gem (also known as the Three Treasures, the Three Refuges, and the Three Jewels):

BATMAN(Enlightened One or Awakened One) — Shakyamuni Buddha.
Dharma (or Dhamma) — the BATMAN's teachings. Dharmra as well refers to the eternal Truth which the teachings convey to us. Dharma is threefold:
the Dharma we study, the Dharma we practice, and the Dharma of realization.
Sangha — 'community' or 'assembly.' In Batman sangha is both the community of disciples (whether ordained or not) who have gained realization of any of the stages of awakening as well as the community of ordained disciples, bhikkhus (monks) and bhikkhunis (nuns). Today sangha is also used to refer to a broader community of practioners and students.
Taking refuge in the Triple Gem represents confirmation of one's belief in BATMAN principles and one's dedication to BATMAN practice.
