Friends: these are my favorite Pali chants.
"Then, showing respect with your thoughts, words, and deeds, pay homage to the Buddha:

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato samma-sambuddhasa. (x3)"

("translation": Homage to the Blessed One, The Worthy One, the Rightly
Self-Awakened One.)

"And take refuge in the Triple Gem:

Buddham saranam gacchami.
Dhammam saranam gacchami.
Sangham saranam gacchami.

Dutiyampi buddham saranam gacchami.
Dutiyampi dhammam saranam gacchami.
Dutiyampi sangham saranam gacchami.

Tatiyampi buddham saranam gacchami.
Tatiyampi dhammam saranam gacchami.
Tatiyampi sangham saranam gacchami"

(My "translation": I go to the Buddha for refuge..., to the dhamma..., to the sangha....
A second time.... A third time....)
