Behold us from the place of great bliss on the crown of our head Bring us to meet the very face of the dharmakaya, the awareness of our true nature, And in this very life, bring us to complete enlightenment. Alas, sentient beings like ourselves, who have committed negative actions, Wander in samsara from beginningless time. Still experiencing endless suffering. We do not feel even an instant of repentance. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that renunciation arise from the depth of our heart. Although we have attained a precious human birth with leisure and resources, we waste it in vain Constantly distracted by the activities of this hollow life. When it comes to accomplishing the great goal of liberation, we are overcome by laziness. And return empty-handed from a land filled with jewels. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we make this life meaningful. There is no one on this earth who will not die. Even now, people are passing away, one after the other We also soon must die But like a fool, we plan to live long. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we curtail all of our scheming. We will be separated from our closest friends. Others will enjoy the wealth we as misers kept Even our body we hold so dear will be left behind. And our consciousness will wander without direction in the bardo of samsara. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we realize the fulility of this life. In front, the black darkness of fear waits to take us in; From behind, we are chased by the fierce red wind of karma. The hideous messengers of the lord of death beat and stab us. And so we must experience the unbearable suffering of the lower realms Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we are liberated from the chasms of lower realms. We conceal within ourselves a mountain of faults; Yet, we put down others and broadcast their shortcomings, though they be minute as a sesame seed. Though we have not the slightest good qualities, we boast saying how great we are We have the label of Dharma practitioners, but practice only non Dharma. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we lose our pride and self-centeredness We conceal within the demon of ego-clinging that always brings us to ruin. All of our thoughts cause kleshas to increase All of our actions have non-virtuous results. We have not even turned towards the path of liberation Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion Bless us that grasping onto a self be uprooted. A little praise makes us happy; a little blame makes us sad. With a few harsh words, we lose the armor of our patience. Even if we see those who are destitute, no compassion arises. When there is an opportunity to be generous, we are tied in knots by greed. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that our mind be one with the Dharma. We think samsara is worthwhile, when it is not. We give up our higher vision for the sake of food and clothes. Although we have all that is needed, we constantly want more. Our minds are deceived by unreal, illusory phenomena. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we let go of attachment to this life. Not able to endure the merest physical or mental pain, With blind courage, we do not hesitate to fall into lower realms. Although we see directly the unfailing law of cause and effect, We do not act virtuously, but increase our unvirtuous activity. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we come to trust completely in the laws of karma. We hate our enemies and cling to friends. Lost in the darkness of ignorance, we do not know what to accept or reject When practicing Dharma, we fall into dullness, drowsiness and sleep. When not practicing Dharma, we are clever and our senses are clear. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we overcome our enemy, the kleshas. From the outside, we appear to be genuine Dharma practitioners; On the inside, our minds have not blended with the Dharma. We conceal our kleshas inside like a poisonous snake, Yet when difficult situations arise, the hidden faults of a poor practitioner come to light. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we ourselves are able to tame our mind. Not recognizing our own faults, We take the form of a Dharma practitioner, while engaging in non-Dharmic pursuits We are habituated to kleshas and non-virtuous activity. Again and again virtuous intentions arise; again and again they are cut off. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we see our own faults. With the passing of each day, we come closer to death. As each day arrives, our mind gets more and more rigid. Though we serve the Lama, our devotion is gradually obscured. Our love, affection, and our outlook towards our Dharma friends diminishes. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we tame our obstinate mind. Although we have taken refuge, engendered bodhicitta and made prayers, Devotion and compassion have not arisen in the depths of our being. Dharma activity and the practice of virtue have turned into hollow words; Our empty achievements are many but none have moved our mind Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that whatever we do is in harmony with the Dharma. All suffering arises from wanting happiness for ourselves; Although it is taught that enlightenment is attained through benefiting others. We engender bodhicitta, while secretly cherishing our own desires. We do not benefit others, and further, we even unconsciously harm them. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we are able to exchange self for other. Our Lama is actually the appearance of the Buddha himself,but we take him to be an ordinary human being. We come to forget the Lamas kindness in giving us profound instructions. We are upset if we do not get what we want. We see the Lamas activity and behavior through the veil of doubts and wrong views. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that free of obscurations, our devotion increases. Our own mind is the Buddha, but we do not recognize it. All concepts are the dharmakaya, but we do not realize it. This is the uncontrived natural state, but we cannot sustain it. This is the true nature of the mind, settled into itself, but we are unable to believe it. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that self-awareness be liberated into its ground. Death is certain to come, but we are unable to take this to heart. Genuine Dharma is certain to benefit, but we are unable to practice correctly. The truth of karma, cause and effect, is certain, but we do not decide correctly what to give up and accept. It is certainly necessary to be mindful and alert, but these qualities are not stable within and we are carried away by distraction. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we stay mindful with no distractions. Out of previous negative karma, we are born at the end of this degenerate time. All our previous actions have become the cause of suffering. Bad friends cast over us, the shadow of their negative actions. Our practice of virtue is corrupted by meaningless gossip. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that we take the Dharma deeply to heart. At first, there is nothing but Dharma on our mind, But at the end, the result is the cause of samsara and lower realms. The harvest of liberation is destroyed by the frost of unvirtuous activity. We, like wild savages, have lost our ultimate vision. Lama, think of us, behold us swiftly with compassion. Bless us that within we bring the genuine Dharma to perfection. Bless us that repentance arise from deep within. Bless us that we curtail all our scheming. Bless us that from the depth of our heart, we remember death. Bless us that we develop certainty in the law of karma. Bless us that our path become free of obstacles. Bless us that we are able to exert ourselves in practice. Bless us that we bring difficult situations onto the path. Bless us that antidotes, through their own power, are completely effective. Bless us that genuine devotion arise. Bless us that we see the very face of the minds true nature. Bless us that self-awareness awaken in the center of our heart. Bless us that delusive appearances are completely eliminated. Bless us that we achieve enlightenment in one lifetime. We pray to you, precious Lama. Kind Lama, lord of Dharma, we call out to you with longing. For us, unworthy ones, you are the only hope. Bless us that your mind blends with ours. _____________________ thank_you Lama_Gyurme your prayers_carry_in_the_wind 110603 what's it to you? who go blather from
