I take refuge in Buddha,

and resolve that with all beings
I will understand the Great Way
whereby the Buddha seed may forever thrive.

I take refuge in Dharma,

and resolve that with all beings
I will enter deeply into the sutra-treasure
whereby my wisdom may grow as vast as the ocean.

I take refuge in Sangha,

and in its wisdom, example, and never-failing help,
and resolve to live in harmony with all sentient beings.
