1.2.2_36
‘‘Ajjeva buddhaṃ saraṇaṃ vajāhi,
Dhammañca saṅghañca pasannacitto;
Tatheva sikkhāpadāni pañca,
Akhaṇḍaphullāni samādiyassu.
This very day with believing heart seek refuge in the Buddha, the Law, and the Order;
Likewise take upon yourself the Five Precepts, and keep them unbroken and unimpaired;
Refrain from taking life, from this moment; take not that which is not given to you in this world;
Drink not strong drink; speak not falsely; be content with your own wife.
