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.
