Bodhideist Taking Refuge Formula

Refuge Formula:

I take refuge in God, the Ground of Being.
I take refuge in Reason, the Light of Truth.
I take refuge in the Dharma, the Path of Liberation.

Saying this and believing it is all that is required to be a Bodhideist, No creeds to sign, no churches or temples to join, and no clergy to control you.
