Buddha,
You are the blessed One,
You are the exalted One,
You are the fully Enlightened One,
Endowed with clear vision,
And virtuous conduct,
Well gone on right path,
The knower of the worlds,
The incomparable leader of men to be tamed,
The teacher of Gods and men,
Enlightened and blessed
Buddha,
With great respect and devotion,
I pay my homage to you.
Iti pi so Bhagavā,

Sugato, Lokavidū,
Anuttaro purisa dammasārathi,

Salutation to the Dhamma
The Dhamma of the Blessed One;
Is perfectly expounded,
To be seen here and now,
Not delayed in time,
Inviting one to come and see,
Onward leading to Nibbāna,
To be known by the wise,
Each for himself.
Buddha
I promise you,
I follow your teaching,
I follow the path of the Dhamma.
Svākkhāto Bhagavatā Dhammo,
Sandiṭṭhiko, Akāliko,
Ehipassiko, Opanayiko,
Paccattaṃ veditabbo viññūhi ti.
Salutation to the Sangha
The disciples of the blessed one, have entered on the good way;
The disciples of the blessed one, have entered on the straight way;
The disciples of the blessed one, have entered on the right path;
The disciples of the blessed one, have entered on proper way;
That is to say – the four pairs of Men, the eight types of persons;
The Sangha of the blessed one is fit for gifts – fit for hospitality – fit for offerings,
And fit for reverential salutation;
As the incomparable field of merits for the world.
Venerable sirs,
You are the living examples,
I pay my respect to you,
I follow the path of the Saṅgha.

Offerings to the Buddha
Just as this lamp,
Destroy the darkness,
May I have the wisdom,
To destroy the ignorance.
These beautiful flowers,
Which fade away very soon,
Remind me,
The impermanent nature of the life;
With the perfumed incense,
And fragrant smoke,
I worship the exalted one;
May all these offerings,
Be offered to the Buddha;
With these merits,
May we all attain Nibbāna.
Sādhu … Sādhu … Sādhu…

Salutation to the Pagodas, Buddha images and Bodhi tree
I worship all the Pagodas;
Which enshrined the relics of the Buddha.
All the images,
That represent the Buddha;
Seated at whose base,
The teacher overcame all foes,
I pay homage,
To that tree of enlightenment,
Venerated by the lord of the world.

If I have committed,
Any wrong heedlessly,
May the Buddha; Dhamma; and Saṅgha – forgive me

Having shared these merits,
Long protect – the Dispensation of the Buddha!
Long protect – the Teaching of the Buddha!
Long protect – me and others!
