(Explanation: we turn to the Buddha, his teachings and the spiritual community for guidance and help; we also express our wish to become a Buddha to help others achieve enlightenment too.)
I go for refuge until I am enlightened
To the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.
From the virtuous merit that I collect,
By practicing giving and the other perfections,
May I attain the state of a Buddha,
To be able to benefit all sentient beings. 3X
