Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammāsambuddhassa.

(Homage to that Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!)

(I go to the Buddha for refuge)

Dhammaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,

Saṅghaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi.

(I go to the Saṅgha for refuge)

Dutiyampi buddhaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,

(For the second time, I go to the Buddha for refuge)

Dutiyampi dhammaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,

(For the second time, I go to the Dhamma for refuge)

Dutiyampi saṅghaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi.

(For the second time, I go to the Saṅgha for refuge)

Tatiyampi buddhaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,

(For the third time, I go to the Buddha for refuge)

Tatiyampi dhammaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi,

(For the third time, I go to the Dhamma for refuge)

Tatiyampi saṅghaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi.

(For the third time, I go to the Saṅgha for refuge)

Saraṇattayaṁ.
