The Three Refuges

At the beginning of our sutra services, we chant in Pali the “Ti Sarana Gamana”:

Buddhaṃ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi;

Dhammaṃ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi;

Sanghaṃ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi.³⁴

In using the liturgical language of Southern Buddhism for this gatha, we follow the example of Senzaki Nyogen Sensei, who sought always to show that Buddhism is a single stream and not divided into separate sects.

Usually the “Ti Sarana” is translated:

I take refuge in the Buddha;

I take refuge in the Dharma;

I take refuge in the Sangha.
