Xprobe SG AEN – kinldy point me to the translated English language verses that a person needs to read during his Three Refuge initiation. Thanks.
An Eternal Now SG Hi, the refuge verses for all Buddhist traditions is found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refuge_(Buddhism)#Refuge_Wording
Xprobe SG One more question – why do we use the term Refuge? Doesnt “Gui Yi” is more about “going back” or “going home”? Refuge is more “seeking shelter”?
An Eternal Now SG 'Gui' means coming back, 'yi' can mean both 'rely' and 'refuge'. Come back to the Buddha for refuge... and the Dharma, and the Sangha http://www.jenchen.org.sg/vol4no2c.htm
