Your Self is your sanctuary
Dwell in it
Take refuge in your Self
There is no other refuge
Dhamma is your sanctuary
Take refuge in Dhamma
There is no other refuge

Taking onboard Lance's and Buddhaghosa's explanation. "Self here means
both ordinary and transcendent dhamma while Dhamma means the nine
kinds of transcendent Dhamma". And Richard's blessing to choose the
interpretation that works for me. I am saved.

My Tibetan terma adapted accordingly:

bdag ni gling du gnas pas//
bdag la'ang skyabs su song cig //
de las skyobs pa gzhan med//
dam chos gling du 'gyur nas//
chos la'ang skyabs su song cig //
de las skyobs pa gzhan med//

Joy
