Prayer of Refuge and Bodhicitta

In the Buddha, the Dharma, and the supreme spiritual community, 
I take refuge until full enlightenment.
By the power of bodhichitta and all six perfections, 
May I realize buddhahood for the benefit of all beings.

Prayer of Ultimate Refuge and Bodhicitta

I take refuge in the expanse 
Of space, primal awareness, and unconfined capacity, 
Which is the nature of everyone’s mind, 
For the sake of all.
