I take refuge in the Buddha. May each and every sentient being understand the Great Way profoundly and bring forth the bodhi mind.
I take refuge in the Dharma. May each and every sentient being deeply enter the sutra treasury and have wisdom vast as the sea.
I take refuge in the Sangha. May each and every sentient being form together a great assembly, one and all in harmony.
