What are Buddhims Rituals?

The Buddha was born in a time in which ritual was thought to hold together the world, and he pretty much thought that was bunk. Consequently, ritual is not a huge part of Buddhism. About the only ritual all schools of Buddhism agree is important is that of "taking refuge" which some see as the point at which one "becomes" a Buddhist and some (like myself) see it as just another step along the path. "Taking refuge" is simply further committing oneself to the practice of Buddhism by acknowledging that you find some measure of relief from suffering through the teachings of the Buddha (called "the dharma"), the support of practicing peers ("the sangha") and accepting the Buddha as a model of what can be found within yourself.
