Tibetan Mahayana Refuge Vow

SANG GYÉ CHÖ DANG TSOK KYI CHOK NAM LA 
sanjay choe dann tsoe key tchoke namlah  < more people from other countries will get the right pronunciation this way, maybe . . .

Until I reach enlightenment, I take refuge in all the Buddhas,

 JANG CHUB BAR DU DAK NI KYAB SU CHI

djang chupp bardoo dak ni  kyap  sue tchee 
And in the dharma, and all the noble sangha.

 
DAK GI JIN SOK GYI PAY SÖ NAM KYI

dak gui djinn so djee pay soe-nam kiy 
By the merit of accomplishing the six perfections 

DRO LA PHEN CHIR SANG GYÉ DRUB PAR SHOK

do lah  penn  tcheer sanjay  drupp  par shoh 
May I achieve buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.

NB. This is the basic vow in transliterated Tibetan with a translation that is not word-for-word.
