Just like the earth and space itself
And all the other mighty elements
For boundless multitudes of beings
May I always be the ground of life,
The source of varied sustenance.
“A Prayer Book is
- the blessing of the Guru that awakens the seed of buddha-
nature within us, causing it to sprout
- the enlightened activity of the Buddha that aids the
growth of that sprout into a mighty tree
- the essence of Dharma that provides shelter as the mighty
tree of happiness and peace within
- the support of the Sangha that encourages us to reach for
and taste the fruits of that tree
For all these reasons, we should appreciate, treasure, and
respect a Prayer Book.”

A spectrum of rays of light emanates from my clear body
spreading in the ten directions and blesses the environment and all
living beings.
Thus they become an exceptionally magnificent
array of only pure and infinite qualities.

Clouds of outer, inner, and secret offerings completely pervade the
earth, the sky, and the expanse of space. Their nature is pristine
wisdom; their aspect is the inner offering and the individual aspects
of the offering substances; their function is to generate special pristine
wisdom of bliss and emptiness as objects enjoyed by the six senses.
These immaculate substances are inconceivable to perceive.

his aspect that of a saffron-robbed monk with one face, two arms,
and a radiant pure smile.
His right hand is in the mudrā explaining Dharma, his left in
equipoise, holding a begging bowl filed with nectar.
He is dressed in the three Dharma robes of lustrous saffron and his
head is graced with a golden paṇḍita’s hat.

In aspect the pervasive lord, the powerful Vajradhara, with one face,
two arms, and a blue body
embracing the Queen of Space while holding vajra and bell,
delighted by the play of innate bliss and emptiness.
They are dressed in robes of divine silks and adorned by every type
of precious ornament.

With major and minor marks, blazing with thousands of rays of light,
in the midst of a five-color rainbow he sits in the vajra posture. His five
pure aggregates are the five tathāgatas, his four elements are the four
consorts, his sense bases, sinews, and joints are actual bodhisattvas.
The pores of his body are the 21,000 arhats, his limbs are the powerful
wrathful protectors. The spectrum of rays of light is secret yakṣas, and
worldly gods are cushions for his feet.

even if I had to remain for an ocean of eons in the fires of

Avīci, for the sake of each sentient being.

105
jing gö nam par yeng wa’i kyon pang ne
chö kun den pe tong pe ne luk la
tse chig nyam par jog pe ting dzin gyi
sam ten phar chin dzok par jin gyi lop
Bless me to complete the perfection of absorption
through the balanced placement of single-pointed concentration
on the empty mode of existence of all phenomena
abandoning the faults of distraction, mental sinking, and excitation.

106
de nyi so sor tok pe shé rab kyi
drang pe shin jang de chen dang drel wa
don dam nyam shag nam kha’i nel jor gyi
shé rab phar chin dzok par jin gyi lop
Bless me to complete the perfection of wisdom
through the ultimate yoga of space-like equipoise
imbued with the great bliss of pliancy induced
by the wisdom of individual analysis focusing on thatness.

107
chi nang chö nam gyu ma mi lam dang
dang pe tso nang da zuk ji shing du
nang yang den par mé pe tsul tok ne
gyu mé ting dzin dzok par jin gyi lop
Bless me to complete the illusory concentration
realizing how inner and outer phenomena are like
illusions, dreams, and the form of moon in clear water:
they appear but do not truly exist.

phen tsun gel mé drok su char wa yi
lu drub gong don tok par jin gyi lop
Bless me to realize the intended meaning of Nāgārjuna that
the two - saṃsāra and nirvāṇa lacking even an atom of inherent
existence
and cause and result and dependent arising being infallible -
appear in harmony, without being contradictory.

Then bless me to cherish even more than my life
the vows and commitments that are the root of siddhis,
crossing the deep ocean of the four classes of mantra
through the kindness of my navigator, Vajradhara.

110

Bless me that whatever appears may arise as the body of the deity,
purifying all stains of ordinary appearance and grasping
through the yoga of the first stage that transforms
birth, death, and the bardo into the three bodies of the conqueror.
