Going for Refuge by Graham Patterson — Lyrics
This very day
I go for my refuge
To the powerful protectors,
whose purpose is to guard the universe;
The mighty conquerors who overcome suffering everywhere.

About Going for Refuge
Graham Patterson’s setting of Going for Refuge offers a profound contemplation of seeking spiritual sanctuary. The text expresses a deep commitment to finding solace and protection in powerful protectors, whose mission is to safeguard the cosmos and overcome all suffering. It speaks of taking refuge wholeheartedly in the Dharma, the path to security from the cycles of existence, and in the compassionate host of Bodhisattvas. This SATB choral work, sung in English, is suitable for liturgical settings, providing a reflective and devotional musical experience for the choir and congregation.
