Buddha, Dharma, Sangha

I take refuge
in the absolute purity
of this Awakened Mind!
(Buddha)

I take refuge
in this practice
of pure selfless awareness,
wisdom, compassion
and skillful means!
(Dharma)

I take refuge
in this awakening community
and our realization in the truth
of the interconnection,
interpenetration and interdependency
of all sentient and insentient beings everywhere!
(Sangha)

(Hollow Bones Sutra Book p.3)
