I salute myself at the moment of the breaking dawn..
Embracing the inviting sounds of silence..
Coming and going dhamma just as pure and novel as always..
Salute the moment of brightened up essence..
Salute from the original full moon..
Through the silhouette of all realities accumulated..
One crystal clear and pure salute is All it takes..
From the samsara, ignorance along with enlightenment instantly shattered away..
Let us salute all with the infinite truth..
Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Samma Sambuddhassa!
Buddham saranam gacchami - I go to the Buddha as my refuge..
Dhammam saranam - I go to the Doctrine (Teaching) as my refuge..
Sangham saranam gacchami - I go to the Order (of Monks and Nuns) as my refuge..
The non-aggressive, moral and philosophical system expounded by the Buddha, which demands no blind faith from it's adherents, expounds no dogmatic creeds, encourages no superstitious rites and ceremonies, but advocates a golden mean that guides a disciple through pure living and pure thinking to the gain of supreme vision and deliverance from all evil, is called the Dhamma and is popularly known as Buddhism.
