my translation of ‘A Long-Life Prayer for His Holiness Katog Getse Tulku Rinpoche, Gyurme Tenpa Gyaltsen’

A Long-Life Prayer for His Holiness Kathog Getse Tulku Rinpoche, Gyurme Tenpa Gyaltsen

Externally, you are Bodhisattva Tsewang Chhogdrub,

Internally, you are the Protector of Liberation, Jonangpa,

Secretly, you are the King of Dharmakaya, Nagpopa:

I supplicate Gyurme Tenpa Namgyal.

Wherever I take rebirth, I will praise your unmistaken transmission.

Always remain on the immutable vajra throne.

May you uphold the life-force of the Ngagyur Nyingma teachings,

And place the victory banner of the Kathog Dharma in all directions!
