The bodies of great compassion and transcendental knowledge of all the
Victorious Ones
Incorporated into one, who is as white as a snow-mountain,
The Emanation Body of Lokeshvara, the supreme Holy One;
May the master
of sentient beings in the three realms be victorious!
Matchless and marvellous in the three worlds,
The Omniscient One, who is
as exalted as an Udumvara flower,
The great crown-jewel of all beings and
teachings on the earth,
We beseech Padmapani, the excellent Victorious One,
to live long.
In the era of conflict, though you attained Buddhahood long ago
You
uphold the beings with the limbs of your hands,
Your resolve and vow are as
firm as a vajra,
We beseech the Great Lord on the Tenth Stage to live long.
All the knowledge of the gradual path of enlightenment,
Is merged
inseparably with the three aspects,
The qualities of knowledge and
compassion are inconceivable,
We beseech the Second Buddha of the northern
land to live long.
You have no attachment and entanglement in exposition, debate or composition,
The eight great treasures of confidence are unbound,
You teach Dharma
through the perfect individual awareness,
We beseech the Great One,
Victorious in all directions, to live long.
The precious teachings of the Victorious Lobsang Dragpa,
Are disseminated
in all directions through the wheels of exposition, practice and activites.
The brains of the devil-elephants, the evil opponents, are shattered,
We
beseech the Fearless Lion of Speech to live long.
The gradual path of the Secret Mantra, Three Visions and Three Tantras,
Absorbed into four modes through the profound yoga of the four empowerments,
You have attained directly the transcendental knowledge of the four Kayas,
We beseech the Lord, the All Pervading Vajradhara, to live long.
Mahamudra, the actual mode of being of all entities,
Is the nonduality of
profundity and luminosity,
The sun of the innately born transcendental
knowledge dispels the darkness of Samsara and Nirvana,
We beseech the Great
Lord of Yoga to live long.
The treasure of all the secret aspects of the ocean of Tantras,
The
virtuous current of the four rivers of maturing and liberating,
Is drawn
into the fields of fortunate disciples,
We beseech the Lord of the Holders
of Secret to live long.
All the phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana appear as the play of independent
origination.
Though they appear so, they are unborn and tranquil from the
beginning,
This is the profound middle way, devoid of all conceptual
elaborations,
We beseech the Lord of Nagas, skilful in teaching this, to
live long.
Kalachakra, the non-differentiation of the external, internal and the rest,
Kulika Pundarika, who was erudite in demonstrating this perfectly,
Manifested himself as a virtuous friend in the Land of Tibet,
We beseech
the Quintessence of the Primordial Buddha to live long.
All the phenomena of Samsara and Nirvana remain in the luminous sphere,
The great innate completion without decrease and increase,
You have
reached the city of fruition through self-liberation and without effort,
We
beseech the Primordial Lord, Samantabhadra to live long.
In short, the great chariots of the whole doctrine of the Buddha,
You are
fearless in pulling them with your hands without confounding them,
The only
refuge of all the beings and teachings,
We beseech the Lord Tenzin Gyatso to
live long.
By the crown-jewels of all the great ones of the three worlds,
On the
auspicious wheels of the lotuses of your feet,
Bowing down a hundred times
with reverence and awe,
We beseech the Great Religious King to live long.
The Lord of Gods, who defeats the evil force of the demigods,
With the
hundred-pointed vajra of strength, power and vigour,
The rocky mountains of
perverted and faulty views are destroyed,
We beseech the Fearsome Shri
Heruka to live long.
As long as the earth, Mount Meru, sun and moon remain,
The three secret
aspects are changeless,
The celestial mansion of Potala which pleases the
supreme Holy One,
We beseech you to remain secure and indestructible on the
vajra throne.
By the blessings of the Three Supreme Long Life Deities,
And by the power
of truth of the Gurus, Tutelary Deities, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas,
Whatever
objectives we have prayed for,
May they be accomplished without any
obstacles.
Thus bowing down with all the three doors, this was written by Jamyang
Khyentse Chokyi Lodro,
the holder of the name of the reincarnation of
Jamyang Khyentse, from the Eastern Region of
Dokham, while praying with
great respect, at the residence of Samdrup Phodrang, South of Rasa
Tulnang
Temple (Jokhang), in Lhasa, Central Tibet. Thereafter, this was offered to the
Great
Omniscient One, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. May this cause him to
live for an ocean of aeons.
