Long Life Prayer For 12th Tai Situ Rinpoche Pema Donyo Drupa:
the Incarnation of the Lord of the Families, Maitreya,
and the rebirth of Dorje Chang Kenting Tai Situpa the 11th, Pema Wangchog Gyalpo

written by His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa

upon the request of Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche

Namo Guru Vajradhara Yey

Your glory is the endless ocean of supreme activity
of the Golden Garland of the renowned Kagyu Lineage:
Pure body, speech and mind, scripture, and experienced realization
You have demonstrated without any attachment.
Splendor of the Sacred Doctrine,
May your Lotus feet remain in this world!

The wisdom of the Victorious Sage,
who is endowed with all qualities,
You uphold and maintain with skill through
explanation, debate and composition.

You are the Exalted and Almighty One
of the Tenth Bodhisattva Level:
embodying awareness which liberates
and the Three vows.
May your Lotus feet remain in this world!

As Fourth Situpa with the title “Pema,”
You are the Regent of Padmasambhava:
possessing the profound and definitive meaning.
Lord of the Mandala who benefits others,
Bearer of the Crown of the limitless Mandala deities
and Holder of the life-tree of this Practice Lineage,
May your Lotus feet remain in this world!

As the Powerful Son of the Glorious Ones,
you achieved enlightenment eons ago.
As the treasure of a courageous wish
you now appear in this world due to making
aspirations, mimicking those of Kuntuzangpo:
Who is without equal and unrivaled.
May your Lotus feet remain in this world!

Full of Accomplishment in the Secret, Great and Vajra Paths,
You’re the flawless incarnation of the Five Buddhas
who come from the sphere of truth which is
primordially perfect.
Liberated Vajra Master,
May your Lotus feet remain in this world!

Having all the realization,
which the scholars, monks and excellent beings
achieved in the past,
You are the crown jewel who illuminates the
Teachings of this Lineage and Mastered
your own emanation.
Pema Donyo Nyinjey,
May your Lotus feet remain in this world!

Through making this prayer without deception,
the capability, strength and blessing of the Three Roots of Refuge,
and the activity and commitments of the Dharma Protectors,
May you remain like a diamond, forever unchanging
