This is the ceremony of taking refuge in the Triple Gem of Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha,
followed by taking of the FIVE precepts.
We do this ceremony at Dhammagiri every Saturday morning 07.30 am;
and on the Sundays closest to the full moon at 9.00 am.
REQUESTING TRIPLE REFUGE AND 5 PRECEPTS
Mayaṃ Bhante,
tisaraṇena saha
aṭṭha-sīlāni ca,
pañca-sīlāni ca
yācāma.
Dutiyampi,
Mayaṃ Bhante...
Tatiyampi,
Mayaṃ Bhante...
(English translation, not chanted during session:
"Venerable Sir,
we request the Triple Refuge
together with the 8 and 5 precepts.
For the second time...
For the third time...")
[At out sessions, we always offer both 8 and 5 precepts, hence the request is for 8 precepts AND ALSO for 5 precepts.
However, the videos I have edited into two versions specifically for 8 and 5 precepts seperately -
Except that the request is still for both, too difficult to sperate that by editing ☺️]
