1. Our compassionate teacher Shakyamuni

With great compassion taking to yourself this world of dregs and strife,

You made five hundred mighty aspirations.

Like a pure white lotus you are praised; all those who hear your name will not fall back to sorrow.

Teacher loving and compassionate, I bow down in homage!

Guru, Teacher, Bhagavan, Tathagata, Arhat, completely perfect Buddha, Glorious Conqueror, Teacher of the Shakyas, to you I bow, pay homage and take refuge.

Teyatha Om Muni Muni Maha Munayé Soha

2. Glorious Vajrasattva

Primordial wisdom of means, adamantine state beyond all concepts,

Realised within the nature of the mother, transcendent knowing without object;

In everything, you show in a multitude of ways the distinct facets of your compassion.

To you, great Vajrasattva, I bow down in homage!

Om Vajra Sattva Ah

To you the Buddha of unbounded life, I bow down in homage!

The hearing of whose name alone dispels the pain of lower realms,

Bhagavan, Tathagata, Arhat, completely perfect Buddha, Lord of Medicine, Radiant King of Lapis Lazuli, to you I bow, pay homage and take refuge.

Revered Avalokita, to you I bow down in homage!

It has been said that this final syllable Hrih may legitimately be added to the mantra with last recitation..

12. The revered and noble Tara

Activity of all the Buddhas of the triple time,

13. The prayer to the Guru who is the union of all the Buddhas

Page 11: Prayer and Homage to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

Guru in your eightfold emanations,

The eight great vidhyadharas,

And the eight Close Sons of Buddha,

The deities of the eight great sadhanas,

I pray to you, please grant your blessing.

Dispel all outer, inner, secret obstacles

And to our aspirations bring fulfilment;

Supreme and ordinary accomplishments, please grant to us.

Om Ah Hung Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hung

----------------------------------------------------------

14. Finally, the wrathful union of Hayagriva, Vajrapani and Garuda

Body, Speech and Mind of all the Buddhas of the ten directions,

Garuda king and Hayagriva and the Lord of Secrets,

All united, first of all the wrathful,

To you, the thought of whom destroys a host of obstacles, I bow down in homage!

Om Vajrapani Hayagriva Garuda Hung P’et Gewa diyi nyurtu dak

----------------------------------------------------

For all of you who have received teachings from me and have a Dharma connection with me, it be would be best to recite all these prayers and mantras every day. Otherwise, recite whichever you wish, especially on the 8th, 15th and 30th days of the lunar month, and on the four great anniversaries of our Teacher Shakyamuni. Whenever you do so, the benefit will be immeasurable. I, the Zhadeupa Ngawang Chökyi Lodrö, an ignorant monk of Shakyamuni, entreat you with folded hands.

Shubham. Sarva Mangalam.
