Oneself instantly arises into the Destroyer Qualified Gone Beyond, Mighty Shakya (Shakyamuni Buddha), golden color, right hand is in the mudra controlling the earth, left hand is in the mudra of concentration, being in the presence of the bodhi tree, and seated on the lotus which covers the world of the great thousand (of the three thousand galaxies). Due to the power of the blessing sitting in the vajra posture, controlling the earth, think that none of the three worlds can move even the mere movement of the pores1 of the earths.

Mantra

ༀ༌མུ༌ནེ༌མུ༌ནེ༌མཧཱ༌མུ༌ན༌ཡེ༌སྭཱཧཱ།

By reciting this one should not have doubt (that one will not experience the effect of earthquakes).

This was written by the great holy being Miphampa (one of the great scholars who is extremely well-known in all the four traditions, a good-hearted and pure holy being).

Prayer Fulfilling Wishes Simultaneously

By the obstacles of the earth, water, fire and wind elements,
When the borrowed illusory body encounters dangers,4
Make requests without doubt of two minds
To Ogyen (Guru Rinpoche) and the Goddesses of the Four Elements.
There is no doubt that it will pacify the elements immediately in their own place.
To Ogyen Padma Jungnye I request:
Please bless me to simultaneously actualize the wishes.

Making Requests and Offerings to the Landlord and Goddesses of the Four Elements

Perform the pill made with dough mixed with naga medicines and the twenty-five vase substances in a very clean container. Pour milk and clean water on top.

Perform the golden drink5 of milk and water that has jewels, medicines, grains and so forth6 and bless this.

The King of the Landlord, golden in color, and the Earth Goddess Temna,
Wood towards the eastern side,
Fire towards the southern side,
Iron towards the western side,
Water towards the northern side,7
Earth Goddesses of the four corners, please hear this request in your ear.
Please take this golden drink and these things of offering and so forth.
Please don’t have hatred and jealousy toward this temple and earth.8
Please bless all to be auspicious; don’t get annoyed and be happy.
Please don’t harm or be against and have love.
Please be patient toward the things that have hurt you.
Please pacify the harms of the four elements, such as earthquakes and so forth, that which are disharmonious.
Please may all be auspicious. May there be happiness and goodness.

This is the request and offering to the Goddesses of the four elements. Having received the advice to accumulate 100,000 recitations of this prayer, in order to pacify the dangers of earthquakes, it is done by following the traditional practice of the earth ceremony, which is found inside the volume THA of the teachings of the Kahl Tagri Lama Damtsik Dorje. The one who offered service and did the editing is Jado incarnate lama.

I, Mickey Mouse, bearing the name incarnation Zopa, have translated this into English, dictated to Ven. Holly Ansett on 17 March 2011 at Kachoe Dechen Ling, Aptos, CA, USA, with the kind help of Nick Ribush, Ven. Steve Carlier and Sarah Shifferd.
