Three Refuges
I take refuge in the Buddha, in Oneness, the awakened nature of all beings. I take refuge in the
Dharma, in Diversity, the ocean of wisdom and compassion. I take refuge in the Sangha, in Harmony, the interdependence of all.

Three Pure Precepts

Not knowing, thereby giving up fixed ideas about myself and the universe, I vow to cease from
evil. Bearing witness to the joy and suffering of the world, I vow to practice good. Honoring
wholeness in myself and others, I vow to save all beings.
