SANG GAY CHO DANG TSHOG KYI CHOG NAM LA JANG CHUB BAR DU DAG NI KYAB SU CHI DAG GI CHIN SOG GYI PAY SO NAM KYI DRO LA PEN CHIR SANG GAY DRUB PAR SHOG

Until Enlightenment I go for refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and the Sangha. By the merit I have accumulated through generosity and other virtues, may I attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all beings.
(Repeat three times)
