HRI
Enchanting Mother -- like a brilliant snow mountain -- the shining comsummation of signs and marks, who when seen captivates minds, who when heard soothes the sorrows of the heart, who when recalled protects from all fears of the untimely, O giver of life, O wish-granting wheel, grant that all may be auspicious.

Lord of Dharma, who in accordance with the various dispositions of those to be subdued makes clear, in the light of your well-spoken advice, the sacred Ganden Tradition -- essence of Buddha's Teachings -- O foremost and holy Lama, to you who are supreme we make this prayer of supplication.

Venerable one, to you whose kindness exceeds that of all the Conquerors, for those wanderers in far-off places, especially the West; mindful of your loving-concern for us, in intentionally descending again into a family of a far-distant land, we make this request, O Lama please live long.

Complete holder, scholar and protector of stainless sutra and tantra, holy spiritual friend, foundation of our unwavering constant devotion, profoundly skilled in methods leading us along the fortunate path of liberation -- unfolding within us all that is ethical, warm and wise, O Lama please live long.

Master of the entire doctrine -- having crossed to the furthermost shore of the vast ocean of sutra and tantra, observing ethics as the foundation of practice, and as the heart of the teaching, conscientiously following Vinaya, O Lama please live long.

By the power of our pure prayer and karma, without our ever being separated from our supremely kind Lama, may we be joyfully guided as your children-disciples throughout infinite lives, and by the sweet nectar taste of you holy speech, may we be forever satisfied.

O Spiritual Masters, deities and protectors, bless us and help us so that we may accomplish the ultimate meaning of life in our striving to listen, reflect and meditate as much as we are able, so that we may quickly usher in a golden age, and so that all the while, we may always remember from the depths of our hearts, the loving-kindness of our precious Lama.
