1.325

問：「若不能持，得還不？」答：「得。」問：「若還。還云何？」答：「向本師、若一比丘言：『我從今日以後，不復能歸佛法歸比丘僧。』如是三說。若不滿三，故成就三歸。」

Question: "If one cannot uphold them, may they be returned?" Answer: "They may." Question: "If returned, how does one return them?" Answer: "Say to the original master or to a bhikṣu: 'From this day forward, I can no longer take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, or take refuge in the bhikṣusaṅgha.' Speak thus three times. If it does not reach three times, the three refuges still remain in effect."
