Vow
I take Refuge in Oneness, the awakened nature of all beings.
I take Refuge in Diversity, the ocean of wisdom and compassion.
I take Refuge in Harmony, the interdependence of all creations.
I will seek my strength in purity of life.
I will seek my honor in sincerity of speech.
I will seek my joy in readiness to serve.
I vow to abstain from cruelty.
I vow to abstain from taking things not given.
I vow encounter all creations with respect and dignity.
I vow to listen and speak from the heart.
I vow to cultivate a mind that sees clearly.
Therefore I promise to myself:
To do what I think to be my duty.
To speak what I think to be the truth.
To help others in what I think to be fair.
I accept full responsibility for action and reaction, for motive and effect.
May the sincerity of this resolution give me strength to nurture and support myself and others.
