Supreme guide, teacher of gods and men, chief of the Shakyas,

The bodhisattva Manjughosha, Shantideva,

Jetari, Chandrakirti the Lesser,

And lord Gunashri, to you we pray!

Kanakashri, Sumatikirti,

Ngok Loden Sherab, Master Jetsünpa,

Learned scholar Butön, Tuksé Lotsawa,

And Yaktruk Sangye Pal, to you we pray!

Sangye Pel[1], Trinle Mikyö Dorje[2],

Könchok Jungne, Karma Chakmé,

Lord of siddhas, Pema Rigdzin[3],

To you we pray, bless us with your compassion!

Namkha Ösel[4], Thekchok Tenzin[5],

Tashi Gyatso, Rigdzin Zangpo[6],

The great bodhisattva Pema Tashi,

To you we pray, bless us with your compassion!

Son of the buddhas, Gyalsé Shenpen Thayé,

Jikmé Ngotsar, Jikmé Chökyi Wangpo,

To all you masters of bodhichitta,

We pray, bless us with your compassion!

In the fertile field of the four boundless qualities,

May the shoots of bodhichitta take root,

Ripening into the excellent fruit of the path of the six paramitas,

To become the basis of sustenance for beings of the three worlds.

Grant your blessings so that with the wisdom realizing the equality of self and others,

All dualistic clinging to ourselves and objects may be cut right through,

Our own and others’ welfare may be accomplished spontaneously,

And we may perfect the supreme mind of bodhichitta.

This was spoken by the one called Patrul. May virtue abound!
