PRAISE OF DIZANG WANG PUSA

Earth-Store Bodhisattva, wonderful beyond compare
Gold-hued in his tranformation body he appears
Wondrous dharma sounds throughout the three paths and six realms
Those of the four kinds of birth and ten kinds of beings gain his kindly grace.

His pearl shining brightly lights the way to heaven’s halls;
Six-ringed golden staff shakes open wide the gates of hell.
Leads on those with causes garnered life after life;
to bow at the nine-flowered terrace of the Honored One.

Namo Earth-Store, Bodhisattva of great vows and compassion,
of the dark and dismal worlds;
on nine-flower mountain, most Honored One,
with ten wheels of power you rescue all the suffering ones.

TRIPLE REFUGE

I take refuge in the Buddha.
I take refuge in the Dharma.
I take refuge in the Sangha.

I take refuge in the Buddha, the Teacher of the Truth, and I wish that all creatures might awaken to the Great Path and make the ultimate resolution.

I take refuge in the Dharma, the Truth, and I wish that all creatures might delve into the sutras, their wisdom deep as the ocean.

I take refuge in the Sangha, the Community of Those Dedicated to the Truth, and I with that all creatures might be brought together in great harmony, without any obstructions at all.

I have taken refuge in the Buddha.
I have taken refuge in the Dharma.
I have taken refuge in the Sangha.
