The Inept Buddhist

May the merit and virtue accrued from this work
Adorn the Buddhas’ Pure Lands,
Repaying four kinds of kindness above
And aiding those suffering in the paths below.
May those who see and hear of this
All bring forth the resolve for Bodhi
And, when this retribution body is over,
Be born together in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

This is the wording of the 3 refuges and Bodhisattva vow I received at Dharma Drum.

1. I take refuge in the Buddha; I take refuge in the Dharma, I take refuge in the Sangha.
2. I have taken refuge in the Buddha; I have taken refuge in the Dharma; I have taken refuge in the Sangha.
3. I vow to cultivate the Buddha-Dharma, to uphold the Three Jewels, and never give up the faith.
4. I vow to deliver all sentient beings; I vow to cut off all vexations; I vow to learn all approaches to the Dharma, I vow to attain Supreme Buddhahood.
