2.1 Taking Refuge: Th Quy Y

With faith that your Root Lama, who essentially embodies the field of

refuge of the Three Jewels, appears in the sky as Guru Rinpoche:

Vi nim tin rng v Lama gc ca bn, hin thn tinh hoa ca lnh

vc quy y ca Tam Bo, xut hin trong bu tri nh c Lin Hoa

From now until sasra itself is empty,
