Through compassionate manifestations, Lokeshvara
Tames the many beings of all realms in the ten directions.
May the seventeenth emanation of Simha, the Sixth,
Live long, and may his activity flourish.
I pray that the Thousand Blazing Lights, the Dharma Lord Maitreya,
Vairochana embodied, the Lord of Secrets Vajrapani,
The greatest siddha Pawo, Nagarjuna’s emanation,*
And other precious great masters live long lives.
May all the great beings, wherever they may be,
Who preserve and spread the teachings of the Buddha
Live long and overcome all obstacles
So that the banner of the teachings may soar in all directions.
The first stanza transforms into a prayer an image from a dream I had in 2020, whereas the latter two were written for the long life of all those who uphold Buddhism in general and the traditions of the Practice Lineage in particular. Through this, may a blaze of auspiciousness ornament the world!
