Refuges

I take refuge in Buddha
before all beings
immersing body and mind
deeply in the way
awakening true mind

I take refuge in Dharma
before all beings
entering deeply
the merciful ocean
of Buddha’s way

I take refuge in Sangha
before all beings
bringing harmony
to everyone
free from hindrance

Hymn to the Perfection of Wisdom

Homage to the Perfection of Wisdom, the lovely, the holy. The Perfection of Wisdom gives light. Unstained, the entire world cannot stain her. She is a source of light, and from everyone in the triple world she removes darkness. Most excellent are her works. She brings light so that all fear and distress may be forsaken and disperses the gloom and darkness of delusion. She herself is an organ of vision. She has a clear knowledge of the ownbeing of all dharmas, for she does not stray away from it. The Perfection of Wisdom of the buddhas sets in motion the wheel of Dharma.
