SAADHU! SAADHU! SAADHU!
Homage to Him, the Exalted One, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One.

NINE QUALITIES OF THE BUDDHA
Thus indeed the Exalted One is the worthy One, perfectly enlightened, endowed with knowledge and conduct, sublime, knower of the world, unsurpassed leader of all to be trained, teacher of gods and humans, enlightened, exalted.

SIX QUALITIES OF THE DHAMMA
The Dhamma has been well taught by the Exalted One, visible here and now, immediate, inviting to come and see, leading onwards, to be known by the wise for themselves.

EIGHT QUALITIES OF THE SANGHA
The Sangha of the Exalted One’s disciples is practicing the good path, practicing the straight path, practicing the true path, practicing the proper path. This is the four pairs of persons, the eight kinds of individuals; this is the Sangha of the Exalted One’s disciples, worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of reverential salutation, the unsurpassed field of merit for the world.

TAKING REFUGE IN THE BUDDHA, DHAMMA, AND SANGHA
With my body, speech, and mind I accept the Buddha as my guide.
With my body, speech, and mind I accept His Dhamma as my guiding principles.
With my body, speech, and mind I accept His Sangha as my model community to follow.

SALUTATION TO THE BUDDHA WHO IS ENDOWED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF DEPENDENT ORIGINATION
Of those things that arise from a cause - The Buddha has told the cause,
And also what their cessation is; This is the doctrine of the Great Recluse.
When that exists, this naturally exists;
Due to the arising of that, this consequently arises.
When that does not exist, this naturally does not exist;
Due to the quenching of that, this consequently quenches.

I pay my homage to the Buddha who is endowed with the knowledge of dependent origination.

HOMAGE TO THE RELICS OF THE BUDDHA
I venerate all shrines wherever they are found—those with the bodily relics, the great Bodhi tree and all images of the Buddha.

OFFERING OF CANDLE LIGHTS, INCENSE, AND FLOWERS
With the light of candles burning brightly, destroying darkness, I revere the Buddha, light of the triple world who dispels all darkness here.
With this sweetly scented incense, prepared from blended fragrances, I revere Him who is rightly revered, worthy of the highest reverence.
With these flowers I revere the Buddha. By this merit may I gain liberation. Just as these flowers fade away, so will this body be destroyed.

OFFERING OF EVERYTHING PREPARED WITH SADDHAA (PLEASURE/FAITH)
Venerable Sir, We invite your honor to accept all these offerings that we have offered with devotion.

SHARING MERIT
May this merit be with my friends and relatives. May my friends and relatives be happy.
By enjoying the merit earned here, may all deities, all who are in lower realms,
and all living beings gain all the riches in their life.

ASPIRATIONS
May the rains come in time so that the harvests may be abundant:
May the world be prosperous, May the rulers be righteous.
By the merit of this good deed, may I never meet with the unwise,
May I always meet with the wise until enlightenment is attained.

OFFERING THE PRACTICE OF DHAMMA TO THE BUDDHA, DHAMMA, AND SANGHA
I make my practice of Dhamma an offering to the Buddha
I make my practice of Dhamma an offering to the Dhamma
I make my practice of Dhamma an offering to the Sangha.
With this practice of dhamma, may I be free from birth, decay, disease, and death.
May this merit, earned by me, be a help to attain enlightenment by ending all suffering.

ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FROM THE BUDDHA, DHAMMA, AND SANGHA
By deed, speech or thought, heedlessly, if I have done any wrong, forgive me, Oh Master! Oh Victor ! Greatly wise. By deed, speech or thought, heedlessly, if I have done any wrong, forgive me, Oh Dhamma ! with the qualities of visible here and now, immediate. By deed, speech or thought, heedlessly, if I have done any wrong, forgive me, Oh Sangha! unsurpassed practitioners of the good path.

FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF MINDUFLNESS
This is the direct path, disciples, for the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, for the destruction of pain and grief, for reaching the right path, for the realization of enlightenment, namely, the four foundations of mindfulness. What are the four?
Here, disciples, a disciple abides contemplating the body in the body, ardent, clearly comprehending and mindful, having overcome covetousness and grief in this world.
He abides contemplating the feelings in the feelings, ardent, clearly comprehending and mindful, having overcome covetousness and grief in this world.
He abides contemplating mind in mind, ardent, clearly comprehending and mindful, having overcome covetousness and grief in this world.
He abides contemplating mind-objects in mind-objects, ardent, clearly comprehending and mindful, having overcome covetousness and grief in this world.

REJOICING IN ONE’S OWN GOOD DEEDS
On this day or in the past if I have done good to other beings with my body, speech or mind, whether great or little, here before the Buddha, I call to mind those good deeds and let my heart rejoice.
I rejoice in my own good deeds, and gladly share my joy with all beings everywhere.
I rejoice in my own good deeds, allowing this joy to further purify my heart.
May my good deeds shield me from all evil and pain.
May my good deeds and merits that come from them help me in freeing my heart.

SHARING LOVING KINDNESS
May all who suffer be free from suffering
May all who have fear be free from fear
May all who are in sorrow be free from sorrow.
