Dhammapada · 14.11

Netaṃ kho saraṇaṃ khemaṃ, netaṃ saraṇamuttamaṃ;Netaṃ saraṇamāgamma, sabbadukkhā pamuccati.

Netam kho saranam khemam, netam saranamuttamam; Netam saranamagamma, sabbadukkha pamuccati.

That is not a safe refuge; that is not the supreme refuge. By going to that refuge, one is not freed from all suffering.

— Dhammapada 14.11
