### [1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2007.1.29)

「今既懺悔已，與善知識授無相三歸依戒。」大師言：「善知識！歸依覺，兩足尊；歸依正，離欲尊；歸依淨，眾中尊。從今以後，稱佛為師，更不歸依餘邪迷外道，願自三寶慈悲證明。善知識！惠能勸善知識歸依三寶。佛者，覺也；法者，正也；僧者，淨也。自心歸依覺，邪迷不生，少欲知足，離財離色，名兩足尊。自心歸依正，念念無邪故，即無愛著，以無愛著，名離欲尊。自心歸依淨，一切塵勞妄念，雖在自性，自性不染著，名眾中尊。凡夫不解，從日至日，受三歸依戒。若言歸佛，佛在何處？若不見佛，即無所歸；既無所歸，言却是妄。善知識！各自觀察，莫錯用意，經中只言自歸依佛，不言歸依他佛。自性不歸，無所依處。

> "Now that you have repented, I shall confer upon you kalyāṇamitras the formless precepts of the three refuges." The Master said: "Kalyāṇamitras! Take refuge in awakening, the most honoured among two-legged beings; take refuge in the correct, the most honoured among those free from desire; take refuge in the pure, the most honoured among assemblies. From this day forward, call the Buddha your master, and never again take refuge in other deluded, heterodox paths. May the Three Jewels, with compassion, bear witness. Kalyāṇamitras! Huineng urges you kalyāṇamitras to take refuge in the Three Jewels. The Buddha is awakening; the Dharma is correctness; the Saṅgha is purity. When your own mind takes refuge in awakening, deluded errors do not arise, you have few desires and are easily satisfied, and you are separated from wealth and sex; this is called the most honoured among two-legged beings. When your own mind takes refuge in correctness, because from thought to thought there is no wrong, there is no clinging attachment; being without clinging attachment, it is called the most honoured among those free from desire. When your own mind takes refuge in purity, though all defilements and false thoughts are within the own-nature, the own-nature is not tainted or attached; this is called the most honoured among assemblies. Ordinary persons do not understand; day after day, they receive the precepts of the three refuges. If you say you take refuge in the Buddha, where is the Buddha? If you do not see the Buddha, there is nowhere to take refuge; since there is nowhere to take refuge, what you say is actually false. Kalyāṇamitras! Each examine yourselves, do not misapply your mind. The sūtras say only to take refuge in oneself, the Buddha; they do not say to take refuge in another Buddha. If you do not take refuge in your own-nature, there is no place to rely upon.
