Prayer for the Flourishing of the Teachings

A prayer given by a dakini in a vision to Lerab Lingpa

Tulku Namgyal had asked me to write a prayer for causing the Teaching of Buddha to flourish in the Khamgön monastery, and I was just beginning to write when a red dakini appeared and said: “Wait!  When the time comes, I’ll speak it to you!”  Time went by, and I was in the Crystal Cave of Padma in Gyaltö, when that same dakini appeared and this is what she said:

 

KÖNCHOK  SUM  DANG  SHAKYÉ  GYAL

Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and the Lord of the
Shakyas, Shakyamuni,

 

RIK  SUM  GÖN  DANG  MAPAM  PA

Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri and Vajrapani, and Maitreya,

 

NÉTEN  CHENPO  CHUDRUK  DANG

The sixteen Great Sthaviras,

 

PÉMA  JUNG    DEN  TOP  KYI

And Padmakara—

 

LAMÉ  KUTSÉ  TEN  GYUR  CHIK

Through your power and through your truth, may the lives of the masters be secure!

 

GENDÜN    PEL  TUK  TÜN  SHOK

May the sangha increase and dwell in harmony!

 

TENPÉ  GAL  KYEN  KUN  SHYI  SHYING

May all circumstances hostile to the Teaching be pacified!

 

SHÉ  DRUP  TRINLÉ  DARGYÉ  SHOK

May the activities of study and practice grow and spread!

 

“These words are the mothers’ last advice. There is still much more to this, and it will be explained, when the time is right.”  This is what she said and I, Lerab Lingpa, wrote it down.
