Recollection of the Buddha

Iti pi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsaṃbuddho
vijjācaraṇasaṃpanno sugato lokavidū
anuttarapurisadammasārathī
satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā ti.

He is a Blessed One, a Worthy One, a Rightly Self-awakened One,
consummate in knowledge & conduct, one who has gone the good way, knower of the cosmos,
unexcelled trainer of those who can be tamed, teacher of devas & human beings; awakened; blessed.

Recollection of the Dhamma

Svākkhāto bhagavatā dhammo,
Sandiṭṭhiko akāliko ehipassiko,
Opanayiko paccattaṁ veditabbo viññūhī ti.

The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One,
to be seen here & now, timeless, inviting all to come & see,
pertinent, to be seen by the observant for themselves.

Recollection of the Sangha

Supaṭipanno bhagavato sāvaka-saṅgho,
Uju-paṭipanno bhagavato sāvaka-saṅgho,
Ñāya-paṭipanno bhagavato sāvaka-saṅgho,
Sāmīci-paṭipanno bhagavato sāvaka-saṅgho,
Yadidaṁ cattāri purisa-yugāni aṭṭha purisa-puggalā:
Esa bhagavato sāvaka-saṅgho—
Āhuneyyo pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjali-karaṇīyo,
Anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassā ti.

The Saṅgha of the Blessed One’s disciples who have practiced well,
the Saṅgha of the Blessed One’s disciples who have practiced straightforwardly,
the Saṅgha of the Blessed One’s disciples who have practiced methodically,
the Saṅgha of the Blessed One’s disciples who have practiced masterfully,
i.e., the four pairs—the eight types—of noble ones:
That is the Saṅgha of the Blessed One’s disciples—
worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of respect,
the incomparable field of merit for the world.
