Taking Refuge

"With a wish to free all beings
I will always go for refuge
To the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.
Until I reach full enlighenment
Infused by wisdom and compassion
Today in the Buddha's presence
I generate the mind for full awakening
For the benefit of all Senitent beings.

As long as sentient being remains,
As long as space remains,
Until then may I too remain
And dispell the miseries of the world."

- H.H. The Dali Lama
