Refuges
 

* Buddham saranam gacchami. “I take refuge in the Buddha.”

I take refuge in the Buddha, who, as a human being found freedom from suffering.  I acknowledge my own capacity to awaken.

* Dhammam saranam gacchami. “I take refuge in the Dharma.”

I take refuge in the teachings and the way things are.

* Sangham saranam gacchami. “I take refuge in the Sangha.” 

I take refuge in the community of practitioners and awakened beings who support and guide me.
