Supplication for the Longevity of the Seventeenth Gyalwa Karmapa

 Nirmanakaya of the sixth guide of this fortunate kalpa

Seventeenth body of Dusum Khyenpa -

And of the mahasiddha Saraha,

May your lotus feet be stable and your activity flourish.

 

You see, just as it is, the suchness of things to be known.

Your energy is victorious over mara.

You kindly protect all beings.

Karmapa, may your lotus feet be stable and your activity flourish.

 

The light of your activity arising from the full mandala of the two accumulations

You are the moon of sacred dharmic proclamation.

Illuminates the kunda grove of the victor's doctrine.

May your lotus feet be stable and your activity flourish.

 

You are the preceptor of hundreds of thousands of renunciates,

And the great master of innumerable vidyadharas.

The father of millions of bodhisatvas,

May your lotus feet be stable and your activity flourish.

 

You raise the doctrine's victory banner in Jambudvipa.

Karmapa, master of the victor's activity,

The banners of your fame flutter everywhere.

May your lotus feet be stable and your activity flourish.

 

Spreading the Lord of sages' doctrine,

Is the manifestation of Lokeshvara.

The protector of beings in degenerate times

Karmapa, may your lotus feet be stable and your activity flourish.

 

Through the intentions of the sacred guru who is the supreme guide,

And the interdependence of our pure, excellent wish,

The truth of the undeceiving three jewels,

May this aspiration be accomplished.

 

In accordance with the wishes of the lord protectors, the supreme Tai Situ Rinpoche and the supreme Tsurphu Gyaltsab Rinpoche, this aspiration was made by Ngawang Kunga of Drolma Podrang, the throne holder of the glorious Sakyas, as an alteration of a previous composition. May this aspiration be accomplished.

 

 

A PRAYER

  Wheresoever the Teachings of the Enlightened one exist;

May disease among human and cattles disappear completely

and may there be good harvest and good breedings;

May war, bloodshed and violence be ended forever.

O Dharma, grant blessings of peace and happiness on all quarters of the globe!

  May the Sublime Doctrine of the Lord that bestows all that is good and auspicious spread in all the ten directions;

May auspiciousness reign supreme to spread peace and happiness in the world;

Auspiciousness reigning in all quarters, let secular and spiritual progress attain the pinnacle of glory;

And may the Sublime Teachings confer auspiciousness all over to usher in peace, happiness and glory.
