2.69

The ritual for receiving them states: 'I, named so-and-so, to the end of my physical life, take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, take refuge in the Saṃgha.' (The mind gives rise to it, and the mouth speaks it, single-mindedly turning toward the Buddha. Stating it three times as above is called obtaining the method of taking refuge.) 'I, named so-and-so, to the end of my physical life have taken refuge in the Buddha, have taken refuge in the Dharma, and have taken refuge in the Saṃgha.' (Stating this three times, one has taken the vow and finished receiving them.)
