I go for refuge to the Buddha and resolve with all beings,

I will cultivate a heart of enlightenment and realize the Great Way.

I go for refuge to the Dharma and resolve with all beings,

I will penetrate the teachings and uncover oceans of wisdom.

I go for refuge to the Sangha and resolve with all beings,

I will seek peace and harmony for the many

and transform this land into Buddhaland unimpeded.
