What does it mean to really take refuge in the Dharma?

When we take refuge in the Dharma, we are taking refuge in all of the truth of the path and the truth of cessation.

We need to investigate whether we are putting the truth of the path and the truth of cessation into practice. 

It is not enough that we say "I take refuge in the Dharma, I take refuge in the Dharma."
