HOMAGE OF THE TRIPLE GEM

[Homage to the Blessed] Noble and Perfectly Enlightened One.
[Homage to the Blessed] Noble and Perfectly Enlightened One.
[Homage to the Blessed] Noble and Perfectly Enlightened One.

[Now let us chant the recollection of the Buddha.]
[A good word] of the Blessed Ones reputation has spread as follows:
He, the Blessed One, is indeed the Pure One,
the Perfectly Enlightened One;
He is impeccable in conduct and understanding,
the Accomplished One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained;
He is Teacher of gods and humans;
He is Awake and Holy.

[Now let us chant the recollection of the Dhamma.]
[The Dhamma] is well expounded by the Blessed One,
Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading inwards, to be experienced individually by the wise.

[Now let us chant the recollection of the Sangha.]
[They are the Blessed Ones disciples] who have practiced well,
who have practiced directly, who have practiced insightfully;
Those who practice with integrity;
That is, the four pairs, the eight kinds of noble beings;
These are the Blessed Ones disciples.
Such ones are worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality,
worthy of offerings, worthy of respect;
They give occasion for incomparable goodness to arise in the world.
