First recite this for refuge and precepts.
Refuge and Bodhicitta
In the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha most excellent, I take refuge until enlightenment is reached. By the merits of generosity and other good deeds, may I attain Buddhahood for the sake of all sentient beings
More Bodhicitta
Thus, until I achieve enlightenment, I will perform virtuous deeds with body, speech, and mind. Until, death I will perform virtuous deeds with body, speech, and mind. From now until this time tomorrow, I will perform virtuous deeds with body, speech, and mind.
Precepts
I abstain from killing
I abstain from theft
I abstain from sexual misconduct
I abstain from lying
I abstain from intoxication
Try your best to retain your precepts until the end of your day.
Feel free to check-in as well! :)
After your day ends:
Dedication of Merit
By this virtue (accumulated through the five precepts), may I achieve the all knowing state and, by defeating all enemies-confusion, the cause of suffering, may all who travel on the waves of birth, old age, sickness and death, cross the ocean of samsara.
Note: I just put these together to provide a space for refuge and vow taking. Please let me know any comments or questions!
