Om Soti!
King of the Shakya,
endowed with the full abundance of the ten powers (for
benefiting beings),
Lord of the World, Ocean of Glorious Ones (Chenrezi)
and Embodiment of Compassion, the Noble Lotus Born Vajra (Padmasambhava),
all who are the source of refuge, today, please bestow the conditions
of virtue.
Preceded by the
dawn light of your intention
like a mother for her children,
your supreme emanation like the sun is radiant
with the marks and signs of the Buddha.
Fine dawning for the fortunate ones in this realm
that you illuminate,
You are the hope and benefit of us all!
Abundance who knows the Dharma
of Scripture
and the Dharma of Realization transmitted by the Glorious One,
Great Embodiment of the Ocean of Compassion that extends everywhere,
who has perfectly attained the spontaneous activity of empowerment,
to the Holder of Vajra, the Karmapa, I bow!
Master of the perfect mode of
liberation
of the full pearl rosary of the succession of previous Karmapas,
imbued with the stainless aura of deeds to uphold the transmission,
Glorious Lord of Beings, I pray you live long!
The wafting expanse of the
fine banner of scriptural knowledge
is beautified by the pinnacle gem of your full realization and experience
supported on the golden handle of your complete examination of truth;
Supreme Incarnation, Victory Banner of the Transmission, may you live
long!
From Marpa of Lhodrak and
the others, your crown ornament of siddhas,
you have obtained the treasury of instructions of the ocean of siddhas;
Protector who guards and spreads the transmission of the family of
siddhas,
Lord of the Mandala of Supreme Accomplishment, may you live long!
May you adopt under your care
the realms wherever activity may be manifest,
in India, China, Tibet, East, and West, in every corner of the world,
so that the roots of supreme happiness for the diversity of beings
are planted
and the excellent tradition replete in the wealth of Dharma spread!
Through the tremendous power of
the splendor of the truth
of the Lamas, Yidams, and the Three Jewels,
the union of Dharmata and Interdependence, the foundation of all things,
and these true words of pure, supreme intention,
may these objects of aspiration be effortlessly
and spontaneously fulfilled.
~So, in this way, having been
urged by the words of Situ Rinpoche and Gyaltsab
Rinpoche that at the
time of establishing conditions for the long life
of the supreme emanation of the Great Guide of Beings,
Karmapa, a name is to be granted, expeditiously while
performing a consecration, thinking I would bestow
a name, and up to now being entreated earnestly by
the monastic seats of Rumtek and Tsurphu, the monastic
seat of Bir Sherab Ling and that of Ralang Palchen
among others that I must write a prayer for his long
life, this conferring of the name Tenzin
Kunkhyab Wangi Dorje in conjunction with the long
life prayer
Dodon Lundrup was composed in sincerity by the disciple
of Shakyamuni, Tenzin Gyatso, in the 17th
year of the cycle, the Fire Ox, in the 10th month
on the
16th day. In the Western calendar, December 15, 1996.
May virtue increase!
