Trois Joyaux
In addition to these Taoist "Three Treasures", Chinese "sanbao" can also refer to the Three Treasures in Traditional Chinese Medicine or the Three Jewels in Buddhism. Victor H. Mair notes that Chinese Buddhists chose the Taoist term "sanbao" to translate Sanskrit "triratna" or "ratnatraya" ("three jewels"), and "It is not at all strange that the Taoists would take over this widespread ancient Indian expression and use it for their own purposes."
