Samyé Chimpu Praise

The Blossoming Lotus of Auspiciousness[1]

A Brief Praise of the Sacred Site of the Awakened Speech

by Jokyab Pema Trinlé Nyingpo

Guided by Nāgārjuna, heart disciple of Pema Gyalpo,[2]
Who received the mandate to practice Mighty Lotus[3] at Chimpu’s Wentsa cave,
Renowned as Gyalwa Chokyang, born into the Ngenlam clan—
Mahāsiddha, who proclaimed the horse’s neigh from his crown, you I recall.

The palace of the mighty Heruka appears as a blossoming lotus;[4]
A hermitage that captivates the mind at first sight and never grows wearisome;
A sacred ground of boundless qualities, fulfilling all who connect with it—
To this source of an ocean of accomplished masters, the king and disciples, I pay homage!

The nine gaits of the nine vehicles are the distinct expression of the thirteen paths and ground.
The qualities of greatness are the qualities of the green-horse-headed one.
The Great Glorious Mother is the expression of the individual yogas.
The three neighs of ground, path and fruition are the natural sound of dharmatā.

Temporarily, may I gain mastery over long life, good health, and the ten powers.
Ultimately, may I gain mastery over the enjoyments of Sukhāvatī.
May I attain the bhūmis, traverse the paths, and master the three horse neighs.
May I become a sovereign who spreads benefit and happiness for the teachings and beings!

An aspiration prayer by Pema Trinlé Nyingpo, composed at glorious Samyé Chimpu after the completion of the feast offering on the twenty-fifth day of the fifth Monkey month. Virtue!
