SUPPLICATION TO MANJUSHRI - Prayer for Mind Beyond Death Study Group

SUPPLICATION TO MANJUSHRI
I prostrate to the Bhagavat Manjushri.
Your mind is completely pure and luminous, like the sun free of the clouds
of the two obscurations;
You hold a text at your heart, since you see all the variety of objects
just as they are;
You love like your only child all the multitude of beings, who are trapped
by the darkness of ignorance in the prison of samsaric existence
And are afflicted by suffering; your speech, possessing the sixty kinds of melody
Roars mightily like a dragon; thus you awaken from the sleep of the kleshas,
liberate from the chains of karma
And dispel the darkness of ignorance; you hold aloft a sword since you cut
all the sprouts of suffering;
You are primordially pure and have completed the ten bhumis; you have perfected
all the qualities; the kaya of the elder son of the Victorious One
Is adorned with the 112 ornaments. You dispel the darkness of my mind.
I pay homage to Manjushri.

By whatever boundless merit we have attained
Through hearing this precious, genuine dharma of the supreme yana,
May all beings become a stainless vessel
Of the precious, genuine dharma of the supreme yana.

By this virtue, may all beings
Perfect the accummulations of merit and wisdom
And achieve the two genuine kayas
Arising from merit and wisdom

All you sentient beings I have a good or bad connection with
A soon as you have left this confused dimension
May you be born in the west in Sukhavati
And once you're born there complete the bhumis and the paths.

Composed by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, August 29, 1999. Translated and arranged by Jim Scott.
