accomplish Buddhahood for the sake of all beings. (Repeat 3 times from *--VISUALIZATION of the DIETY)
On the crown of my head and all sentient beings pervading space, there rests a white lotus and moon seat.
From HRI (on the lotus and moon seat) appeats the Noble All-Seeing One, white, bright and radiating five-colored light
rays, smiling charmingly and gazing with Eyes of Compassion. He has four arms, the
upper two joined together and the lower two holding a white lotus and crystal rosary. He is adorned by
precious jewels and silks; a deer skin covers his upper part (left shoulder). The Buddha of Boundless
Light adorns his head. He sits in the vajra asana. k His back is supported by a stainless moon; he is the
essence of all sources of refuge.
(Make the following prayer thinking all beings are making it with you as if in a single voice.)
* Lord, whose white body is not clothed by fault, whose head is adorned by a Perfect Buddha, who looks upon all
beings with the Eyes of Compassion, to you Chenrezig I pay homage.
(Repeat at least 3 times from *--The SEVEN BRANCH PRAYER)
To the Sublime One, the Mighty
Chenrezig, to the Buddhas and their Sons, who reside in the ten directions and the three times, with complete sincerity
I pay homage.
I offer flowers, incense, butter-lamps, perfume, food, music, and other real and imaginary offerings and
so on, and beseech the Noble Assembly to accept them. I confess all the unskillful actions caused by the power
of conflicting emotions, the ten unvirtuous deeds and
the five sins of limitless consequence done from beginningless time until now. I rejoice in
the spiritual meritof whatever virtue Sravakas, Pratyeka Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and ordinary beings gather throughout
the three times.
I pray that the Dharma Wheel of the Mahayana, Hinayana, and of the Teachings common to both
be turned in accordance with the wishes and aptitudes of beings.
I beseech the Buddhas not to pass into Nirvana as long as samsara is not emptied, but to look with
compassion upon sentient beings who wallow in the ocean of suffering. May whatever merit I have
accumulated be the cause for the Enlightenment of Beings; may I quickly become a splendid leader of beings.
(The Vajra words of prayer to the Excellant Chenrezig composed by the Great Mahasiddha, Tang tong Gyalpo, in his incarnation
as Gelong Pema Karpo:)
I pray to you Lama Chenrezig. I pray to you Yidam Chenrezig. I pray to you Perfect Noble Chenrezig.
I pray to you Lord Protector Chenrezig. I pray to you
Lord of Love Chenrezig. Great Compassionate Victor, please hold us with your compassion, numberless
beings who wander in endless samsara experiencing unbearable suffering. There is no other refuge than
you, Protector! Please bestow the blessing to obtain omniscient Buddhahood. By the power of accumulating
negative Karma from beginningless time, sentient beings, through force of anger, are born as
hell beings and experience the suffering of heat and cold. May they all be born in your presence,
By the power of accumulating negative Karma from beginningless time, sentient beings, through force of
