Tang (唐) · translated by Shi Chanantuo (實叉難陀譯) · Volume 6 / 6

自皈依佛當願眾生體解大道發無上心

I take refuge in the Buddha; may all beings understand the great Way and arouse the unsurpassed mind.

自皈依法當願眾生深入經藏智慧如海

I take refuge in the Dharma; may all beings enter deeply into the sutra treasury, with wisdom like the sea.

自皈依僧當願眾生統理大眾一切無礙和南聖眾

I take refuge in the Sangha; may all beings lead the great assembly, with no obstruction in anything. I pay homage to the holy assembly.
