We take refuge in the Buddha
Together with all beings;
May we understand through our bodies
The cosmic life leading
To the incommensurate awakened mind.
We take refuge in the Dharma
Together with all beings;
May we embody the scriptures,
The great compassionate wisdom,
Vast as the ocean
We take refuge in the Sangha
Together with all beings;
May we live with the Sangha
The life of harmony,
Which is without attachment.
