58. BECOMING INDEPENDENT

      In the presence of Buddha and Christ,
      I commit myself to follow the Way of the Dharma,
      to serve the Sangha,
      to be true to the vision of Bodhi Sangha    
      and to realise the Four Great Vows for All.
      I promise to be committed to the Sangha and to care for my disciples.
