Day 5: The King of Prayers

Students reciting something in Spanish: ?King of Prayers.]

So Chenrezig, Compassion Buddha, so visualize nectar beams emitting from Compassion Buddha, so visualize mountains of, like huge snow mountains like that, Compassion Buddha then nectar beams emitted to all the sick people, all those who died and the sick people, all those, okay. And then as well as all the six realm, all the sentient beings, all the numberless hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals, human beings, suras, asuras, intermediate state beings, everybody. So all their negative karma, living ones and the sick ones, those who died, it’s same, so everybody, all the negative karma, all the sicknesses, spirit harm, negative karma, defilements, all these four things are completely purified. As well as those people who died, same, their negative karma and defilements completely purified. And then as well as yours.

[Rinpoche recites Chenrezig verse then leads group in recitation of OM MANI PADME HUM.]

Nectar beams emitted from Chenrezig, purified the, all the hell beings, all the hungry ghosts, all the animals, all the human beings, suras, asuras. [pause] So think everybody become Compassion Buddha, okay. All the hell beings, all the hungry ghosts, animals, human beings, suras, asuras, then as well as all the sick people, whose names is given, so same, purified all their sickness and then become Compassion Buddha. [pause]

Then we pray this one, which comes end of the nyung nä, so we pray this for all the sentient beings. “The Chenrezig, sublime, exalted one, who is treasure of great compassion. Please, with all the entourage, please pay attention to us, sentient beings. Please, myself, please liberate quickly myself, my father, mother, six-realm sentient beings from the oceans of samsaric suffering. Please make this to happen, quickly generate the bodhicitta, the peerless one, the bodhicitta, we should put this way, the profound, extensive peerless bodhicitta, please make to actualize quickly within my heart and in the heart of all my father and mother sentient beings, six-realm sentient beings hearts. And especially those whose names is given. Please purify quickly the karma and delusion collected from beginningless rebirths, so means by you and by all sentient beings, with your compassionate water. Please stretch out your arm; please lead myself and sentient beings in your pure land, in the blissful realm. And Amitabha Buddha and Chenrezig, please be my guru in all the lifetimes, and you can think all sentient beings, your guru and all sentient beings and all those people who died and sick and whose names is given to me, especially them. Please bring us to, quickly to enlightenment. Means yourself and all sentient beings, particularly those sentient beings whose names are given, was read, so them. [pause]

Then the Chenrezig melts into light and then absorbed within you, or those who have received a great initiation, then the center of the eyebrows, then blessed you, blessed your body, speech and mind, receive all the qualities.

So those you can recite Medicine Buddhas’ names, can recite the names. Otherwise, I just recite quickly. Please dedicate those people who died, then whose names are given to me, sick, so to immediately get better and then to actualize, to find faith in refuge, karma, and actualize bodhicitta in their heart and then achieve enlightenment as quick as possible by meeting Buddhadharma, actualize bodhicitta and then achieve enlightenment as quick as possible. So, can pray like that. Then those people who have died, immediately to be born in a pure land where they can become enlightened or receive a perfect human body and achieve enlightenment quickly by meeting a perfectly qualified Mahayana guru, Mahayana teachings. Make request to Medicine Buddha.

[Rinpoche quickly recites the names of the seven Medicine Buddhas.]

We recite the mantra a few times.
