The Short Readings
(Khuddakapāṭha, Khuddakanikāya 1)
Translated by Ānandajoti Bhikkhu
Reverence to him, the Fortunate One, the Worthy One, the Perfect Sambuddha
1: Going for Refuge
I go to the Buddha for refuge,
I go to the Dhamma for refuge,
I go to the Sangha for refuge.
For a second time I go to the Buddha for refuge,
For a second time I go to the Dhamma for refuge,
For a second time I go to the Sangha for refuge.
For a third time I go to the Buddha for refuge,
For a third time I go to the Dhamma for refuge,
For a third time I go to the Sangha for refuge.
