The Chariot of the Vidyadharas

My Title

Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo

An Aspiration Prayer for Travelling to the Realm of Lotus Light
 
by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo

OM AH HUM VAJRA  GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM

The wisdom of the great, indestructible tiglé

Shines in the limpid sky of innate clear light,

And the unity of space and wisdom, like a rainbow, appears for all to see

As the supreme, naturally emanated realm of Lotus Light.

In an expanse of rings of rainbow light, the direct realization of dharmata,

Rises the great mansion, the increasing of experience,

Where throngs of dakas and dakinis, awareness reaching fullness,

Enact vajra dances and song, the exhaustion of phenomena beyond the mind.

In its centre preside the primordial lord Amitabha,

The great treasure of compassion, Padmapani,

And the three kayas all-embodied, the immortal Tötreng Tsal,

With his eight principal emanations and others, all manifesting to tame beings each in their own way.

Here, in this gathering–place of the great magical net

Of your infinite display of aspects and forms,

May I and others, the ocean of sentient beings pervading space,

All be born the instant we depart this life.

Once there, taking the special path of the four vidyadhara stages,

May we swiftly attain the level of the lake-born Guru,

Who embodies oceans of kayas and wisdom,

And spontaneously fulfil the benefit of ourselves and others!

 

These were the words of the  holy one among the vidyadharas, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Siddhirastu!
