The Vandana and Tisarana are ancient chants in the Pali language that are usually performed at the start of a Buddha service to signify taking refuge in the Tripple Gem of the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. However, in Shin/Pure Land Buddhism when we say 'namuamidabutsu' we are at the same time saying "I take refuge in Amida Buddha", and so other forms of refuge or devotional affirmation are not strictly necessary.

On the SERVICE ORDER page on this website the Sanbutsuge is listed as the central element. However, while this is the chant that most often occupies that position, there are two other common substitutes. All three are listed below, along with links to pdf copies of the chant text and mp3 audio files.
