Saraṇattaya

The Three Refuges

Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammāsambuddhassa.
Homage to that Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!

Buddhaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,
I take refuge in the Buddha,

Dhammaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,
I take refuge in the Teaching,

Saṅghaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi.
I take refuge in the Sangha.

Dutiyampi buddhaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,
For the second time I take refuge in the Buddha,

Dutiyampi dhammaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,
for the second time I take refuge in the Teaching,

Dutiyampi saṅghaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi.
for the second time I take refuge in the Sangha.

Tatiyampi buddhaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,
For the third time I take refuge in the Buddha,

Tatiyampi dhammaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,
for the third time I take refuge in the Teaching,

Tatiyampi saṅghaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi.
for the third time I take refuge in the Sangha.

Saraṇattayaṁ.
