Going back, taking refuge in the Buddha in myself, I vow, together with all beings, to realize the Great Way in order to give rise to the highest mind (bodhichitta). Going back, taking refuge in the Dharma in myself, I vow, together with all beings, to realize understanding and wisdom as immense as the ocean. Going back, taking refuge in the Sangha in myself, I vow, together with all beings, to help build a Sangha without obstacles.
