"I, so-and-so, for the rest of my life, take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, take refuge in the Saṅgha." (Three times)
"I, so-and-so, for the rest of my life, have taken refuge in the Buddha, have taken refuge in the Dharma, have taken refuge in the Saṅgha." (Three times)
When the first three takings of refuge are finished, wholesome dharmas immediately arise. Once the latter three conclusions are completed, there are only physical and vocal non-manifesting [factors] (avijñapti) belonging to oneself. Therefore, the Sarvāstivāda-śāstra states: 'If received with a earnest and profound mind, one possesses both manifest and non-manifest [precepts]; if received with a flippant and negligent mind, there is only the manifest, without the non-manifest.' (Speaking of manifest and non-manifest, this refers to active and non-active precepts.)
