The Threefold Refuge

LEADER: Difficult is it to receive a human form now we are living it. Difficult is it to hear the Dharma of the Buddha, now we hear it. If we do not cross over to the Truth in the present life, in what life shall we cross over? Let us with sincerity and true reverence take refuge in the Three Treasures of the Truth.

SANGHA: I take refuge in the Buddha. May we together with all sentient beings, awaken to the Great Way of Enlightenment and to the unsurpassed intent of Amida Buddha.

SANGHA: I take refuge in the Dharma. May we, together with all sentient beings, enter the storehouse of the Dharma, becoming like the Wisdom Ocean.

SANGHA: I take refuge in the Sangha. May we, together with all sentient beings, become units in true accord, in harmony with all things.

LEADER: The peerless, profound and wondrous Dharma is rare to encounter, even in many hundreds and thousands of kalpas. Now we are privileged to hear and receive it. Let us thoroughly understand the true meaning of the Tathagata’s teaching.
