OM SVASTIO glorious Shakyamuni, endowed with the ten powers, O victorious assembly of infinite refuges Such as Amitayus, Lord of limitless life and wisdom: Let fall here and now an oceanic rain of virtue and goodness!

Well nurturing billions of realms With infinite unceasing array of manifestations According with an ocean of trainees' natures and wishes Is a distinguishing feature of the Glorious Able Ones themselves!

In the country of Tibet, garlanded with snow mountains, The succession of your holy incarnations, Replete with all qualities of scholarship and yogic mastery, As Teachers of the Dharma are uniquely wonderful!

Your successive incarnations of the Protector who erected The victory banner of Losang Dragpa's teaching Are an udumwara flower-vine of supreme beings Beautifying the tower of scriptural and realization Buddhadharma!

You who skillfully uphold the tradition of the Sun Friend's sutra and tantra teachings, Crown ornament of the Sangha community, Of unobscured wisdom and perfection in activity, I make requests to that Supreme Guide of Beings!

To protect this vast earth, teachings and beings With perfection of unparalleled wisdom, compassion and power Ripening the fortunate community who aspire to ultimate virtue, May you remain firm as the Lord of Beings!

May you remain firmly as the Sun of the teachings and beings Whose activity causes the mandala of hearing, contemplation and meditation to grow, Illuminating the light of supreme transcendent wisdom, Clearing darkness of ignorance of the three realms!

Having attained a jewel treasury of perfect abandonments and realisations, May you live long as the supreme guide Who, with the excellent riches of the four glorious communities, Leads Tibetans to a new springtime of perfection!

To well protect the general Buddhist teachings, And Tsongkhapa's stainless teachings until the end of existence, May you remain as the Lama of beings With all spontaneously perfected qualities of supreme wisdom, morality and compassion!

May you long abide as one whom, when venerated and beseeched, With profound, single-pointed faith and devotion By those such as your respectful disciples, it is auspicious that All Dharmic wishes of infinite beings be effortlessly accomplished!

In short, the nectar of all Buddhas' wisdom, compassion and power Strongly, well ripening your three secrets, May you spontaneously accomplish your intention: To set all these beings in temporary and everlasting happiness!

Through power of the Three Jewels' blessings, dependent arising and emptiness, Magical power of hosts of sworn Dharma protectors Such as Matron of the Three Realms, Begtse and Mahakala, May all these prayers be accomplished without obstruction!
