Taking Refuge Verse--Minnesota Zen Meditation Center

I take refuge in Buddha
May all living beings embody the great way, resolving to awaken.
I take refuge in Dharma
May all living beings deeply enter the teachings, wisdom like the sea.
I take refuge in Sangha
May all living beings support harmony in the community, completely without hindrance.

Taking Refuge Verse--San Francisco Zen Center

I take refuge in buddha.
Before all beings.
Immersing body and mind.
Deeply in the way.
Awakening true mind. 

I take refuge in dharma.
Before all beings.
Entering deeply.
The merciful ocean.
Of buddha's way. 

I take refuge in sangha.
Before all beings.
Bringing harmony.
To everyone.
Free from hindrance.
