So I heard. Bhagavan for a moment. In Shiluo, I lived in Duolinji Lonely Garden. Together with the countless great crowds of Bodhisattvas, gods, and humans,
At that time, the Venerable Ananda was sitting alone in a free space, thinking. Think like this. If you are a good man or a good woman. Receive three refuges with pure faith. Say so. Now my name is taken refuge in the Buddha's two-legged center. Take refuge in the Dharma and be free from desire. Take refuge in the most respected among the monks. How much blessing will you gain by taking refuge in this way? Doing is thinking. At the beginning of the day at my residence. Get up and sort out your clothes. Go peacefully and go to the Tathagata. I have bowed to the feet of the Blessed One. He leaned on one shoulder and landed on his right knee. Put your palms together respectfully and speak to the Buddha. The one who only cares about me. Sit alone in a free space and think. Think like this. If you are a good man or a good woman. Receive three refuges with pure faith. Say so. Today I have a certain name. Take refuge in the two-legged Buddha. Take refuge in the Dharma and be free from desire. Take refuge in the most respected among the monks. How many blessings can you get by taking refuge in this way? I failed. I only hope that the World-Honored One will express his compassion and enlightenment to all sentient beings.
