To the excellent buddha, dharma and supreme assembly,
I go for refuge until the attainment of awakening.
Through the merit of my generosity and so forth,
may I attain buddhahood for the welfare of all sentient beings. [ 3 x ]

May all beings possess happiness and the cause of happiness;
may they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering;
may they never be separated from the supreme happiness devoid of suffering;
may they remain in boundless equanimity, beyond attachment and aversion to those near and far. [ 3 x ]

ĀḤ Like the magical display of the union of unborn emptiness
and unceasing interdependent appearances,
in the sky in front of me, amidst ocean-like cloud banks of offerings,
is the peerless teacher, Lion of the Śākyas
upon a bejewelled lion-throne, lotus, sun and moon.
He is golden-hued, with the major signs and minor marks,
attired in the three dharma robes and seated in vajra posture.
His right hand is fully outstretched in the earth-touching gesture
and his left hand in the gesture of meditative equipoise holds a nectar-filled alms bowl.
Radiating glory and splendor, he is like a golden mountain.
Nets of wisdom light-rays fill the sky. He is completely
surrounded by an ocean-like retinue of noble ones,
such as the eight close sons, the sixteen elders and the like.
Merely by recollecting him,
liberation from the two extremes of existence and peace, the glory of supreme bliss, is bestowed.
He is present as the great embodiment of all refuges.
The great compassionate one accepted this turbulent degenerate world
and made five-hundred aspirations.
Praised as the white lotus, whoever hears his name shall not return.
To this gracious teacher, I pay homage!
Visualizing the accumulation of merit through the three doors
and the enjoyments of myself and others as Samantabhadra's offering cloud, I offer it.
All my misdeeds and transgressions, accumulated since time immemorial,
I confess, one by one, with fervent heartfelt repentance.
In all the merit the noble ones and ordinary beings have accumulated
throughout the three times, I rejoice!
Turn, I pray, the profound and vast dharma wheel unceasingly
throughout the ten directions!
While your space-like wisdom body dwells
immutably throughout the three times,
in the perception of disciples, you nonetheless demonstrate birth and decay.
May you forever display your emanation body!
Through the merit I have gathered throughout the three times,
in order to benefit the host of infinite beings,
may I always delight the dharma king
and attain the state of the victorious lord of dharma.
Out of kindness, you completely embrace with compassion all of us,
defenseless beings in this degenerate age.
Whatever light of the triple gem exists in this realm and time
is your enlightened activity.
Therefore, when I supplicate from the bottom of my heart
with trust and faith, only refuge, peerless and sublime,
don't forget your mighty covenant of the past,
embrace me with compassion until I reach enlightenment!
Supreme Spiritual Teacher, Blessed One, Tathāgata, Arhat, Completely Perfect Buddha, Glorious Victor, Śākyamuni, I pay homage, make offerings and seek refuge in you!
TADYATHĀ OṂ MUNI MUNI MAHĀ MUNAYE SVĀHĀ
OṂ MUNI MUNI MAHĀ MUNAYE SVĀHĀ
From the teacher's form, multicoloured light-beams of wisdom shine forth brightly
and dispel all obscurations of myself and all sentient beings.
The good qualities of the mahāyāna path arise flawlessly and the state of a non-returner is achieved.
Just as all the sugatas and their children have developed bodhicitta,
and just as their activities, aspirations, wisdom,
love and power are a miraculous display of unsurpassable wisdom,
may all beings develop in exactly the same manner.
Through this virtue, may I quickly accomplish
perfect buddhahood for myself,
and establish all beings
without a single exception, in that very state.
The teacher has appeared in this world and the teachings
have illuminated it like the light of the sun.
May the holders of the teachings be in harmony, like siblings,
and may there be the auspiciousness that the teachings endure.
May the supreme and precious mind of enlightenment,
awaken in those where it has not yet arisen,
Where it has arisen, may it never decrease,
but continue to flourish forever more.
May all sentient beings be happy.
May the lower realms become forever emptied.
May the aspiration prayers of all the bodhisattvas
dwelling on the bhumis, be entirely fulfilled.
By this virtue may I attain omniscience.
Having defeated the enemy, misdeeds,
may I free all beings from the ocean of existence,
with its stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death.
