Again, I take refuge in Sakyamuni Tathagata (the Thus Come One, the teacher) of this Saha World, as well as all the Tathagatas in the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions, all the great Dharma treasures, and the Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (great enlightened beings), Sravakas (hearers), Pratyekabuddhas (solitary Buddhas), and all the virtuous and holy ones. And further say: 'I now single-mindedly prostrate and take refuge in all the Buddhas, the Dharma, and the virtuous and holy assembly mentioned above, may they bear witness to me. From this day forth until Bodhi (enlightenment), I will constantly take refuge in the World Honored One, the Buddha, who is of great compassion, all-knowing, all-seeing, free from all fears, the great lion among humans, the great dragon king, the great immortal among humans, the great hero, the all-knowing one, possessing an inconceivable body, a supreme body, an unequaled body, a body not shared with the two vehicles, a pure Dharma body, the most honored among all beings. I now, with utmost sincerity, single-mindedly take refuge.' Take refuge in this way hundreds of times, thousands of times, hundreds of thousands of times, even immeasurable and countless times, throughout the endless future, to the depths of my bones and marrow, I take refuge in the World Honored Ones, the Buddhas, as mentioned above. And further say: 'I now, with the good roots of my body, speech, and mind, together with all sentient beings, take refuge in the Buddha, constantly without separation from the Buddha. Thus, I take refuge in the one who sits at the place of enlightenment, the one who is constant, permanent, and unchanging, the one who is neither old nor dead nor destroyed, the one who is without dwelling, without conditions, and whose nature is tranquil, the one who dwells in the Dharma abode and provides great protection as a refuge, the one who is the refuge and reliance for attaining Nirvana (liberation), the one who dwells in the supreme state among all Dharmas. I now, with utmost sincerity, earnestly and solemnly, take refuge in the true Dharma of such Buddhas.' Again, as above, with utmost sincerity, I take refuge in the Bodhisattvas residing in the lineage, from the Joyful Ground to the Cloud of Dharma Ground, the Sangha of Bodhisattvas residing in the ten grounds. Next, one should repent, saying: 'May the World Honored Ones, the Buddhas of the ten directions, bear witness, remember, have compassion, and accept my repentance. The three karmas of the body are killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct; the four karmas of speech are false speech, harsh speech, divisive speech, and frivolous speech; the three karmas of the mind are greed, hatred, and delusion; committing these actions oneself, instructing others to do so, and rejoicing in seeing others do so. All such ten evil deeds, I now repent of them all.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
