Homage to that Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!

I take refuge in the Buddha, 
I take refuge in the Teaching, 
I take refuge in the Sangha.

For the second time I take refuge in the Buddha, 
for the second time I take refuge in the Teaching, 
for the second time I take refuge in the Sangha.

For the third time I take refuge in the Buddha, 
for the third time I take refuge in the Teaching, 
for the third time I take refuge in the Sangha.
