Presentation of the Buddhist Vow

“I cordially render my worship - physically, verbally and spiritually - towards Our Lord Buddha, His Teachings and towards all His Disciples. May the Teachings of Our Lord Buddha bring these sacred vows towards the true Nirvana.

I hereby solemnly promise to commit my vows to Our Lord Buddha and pledge, for the rest of my life, commencing from today, that;

I will never again allow myself to become addicted,

I will not enter the trade or be in the possession of dangerous drugs,

I will never again use or add any addictive substance or solvents - namely;

Opium, heroin, morphine, cocaine, crack-cocaine, marijuana, hallucinogenic drugs (such as LSD - lysergernic acid), amphetamines (such as "Speed" or "Ecstasy") - to any non-toxic substances, solvents, food or drinks.

I will not urge other people to use addictive drugs.

I call upon the earth, the sky, and the air to be my witnesses.

May Our Lord Buddha, all of those present and all those who can hear our vows be my witness.

May the Teachings of Our Lord Buddha grant the merits gained to the Beings in the universe, living or dead, and to the father, the mother, the benefactors, the patrons and "Chao kam nai wane".

Please help me to acquire the four Noble Truths of Buddhism, the four Perceptions of Buddhism, the four Orders of Merit of Buddhism, and to attempt the demanding route towards Nirvana"
