The Supplication to the Three Kayas of the Guru

The Supplication to the Three Kayas of the Guru

E MA HO! How marvelous! %

In the pure-land of the basic space of phenomena, free of elaboration, %

Within the sphere of the nature of phenomena, without origination or cessation throughout the three times, %

Is the supremely blissful exalted form of spontaneous perfection, without any sense of something to be done: %

A sky-like presence of awareness, without bias or prejudice. %

I supplicate the Guru as Dharmakaya: %

I supplicate Orgyen Padma Jungnay. %

In the pure-land of supreme bliss, spontaneously accomplished, %

Are the embodiments of the Bliss-Gone Sugatas of exalted form, noble speech, awakened mind, positive qualities, and enlightened activity. %

Suffused with the five aspects of pristine wakefulness, %

They reveal themselves individually as the various facets of compassionate presence. %

I supplicate the Guru as Sambhoghakaya: %

I supplicate Orgyen Padma Jungnay. %

In the pure-land of the innate purity of this long-suffering world, %

Coming into manifestation through vast compassion for the sake of beings, %

The welfare of beings is worked for through skillful means that tame in every way possible. %

I supplicate the Gurus as Nirmanakayas %

Of the three times — past, present, and future: %

I supplicate Orgyen Padma Jungnay. %
