Master:
Offering flowers and incense
Lay Person:
We disciples beseech and invite with sincere hearts,
The teacher of this samsaric world,
Our original teacher Shakyamuni Buddha,
Amitabha Buddha of Sukhavati Western Pureland,
The Buddhas in ten directions of the past, present and future,
The Buddhas pervading all space and the Dharma Realm,
In the light of compassion, may we not transgress our vows.
May you bear witness to our taking of refuge.
(Bow Once)
Supplication to the Dharma (Thrice)
Master:
Offering flowers and incense,
Lay Person:
We disciples beseech and invite with sincere hearts,
The small and great vehicles,
The precepts
The precepts that lead to liberation,
The twelve division of the sutras,
The authoritative teaching of truth,
That lead to renunciation of craving and attainment of true purity,
The profound treasury of the Dharma.
Mindfully and wholeheartedly,
I go for refuge for my life.
(Bow Once)
Supplication to the Sangha (Thrice)

Lay Person:

The Multitude of Pure Beings
The Great Bodhisattvas
Venerable Upali of the assembly of the precepts

In the light of your compassion, may we not transgress our vows.
May you bear witness to our taking of refuge.
