Supatipanno Bhagavato savaka-sangho
Ujupatipanno Bhagavato savaka-sangho
Ñayapatipanno Bhagavato savaka-sangho
Samicipatipanno Bhagavato savaka-sangho
Yadidam cattari purisayugani attha

The Sangha of the Blessed One’s
disciples has entered on the good way; The Sangha of the Blessed
One’s disciples has entered on the straight way; The Sangha of the
Blessed Ones disciples has entered on the right path; The Sangha
of the Blessed One’s disciples has entered on the proper way; That
is to say, the Four Pairs of Men, the Eight Types of Persons; The
Sangha of the Blessed One’s disciples is fit for gifts, fit for
hospitality, fit for offerings and fit for reverential salutation
As the incomparable field of merits for the world.

The
Sangha of the ages past,
The

The
Sangha of the present age,
I
always pay homage to them. |

No
other refuge do I seek;
The
Sangha is my matchless refuge;
By
the might of this truth,
May
joyous victory be mine! |

With
my bows I humbly worship,
The
Sangha triply unrivalled;
If I
have done wrong to the Sangha
May
the Sangha forgive me. |
