‘Dharmakaya Kuntuzangpo’: A Supplication to Padmasambhava

Revealed by Chogyur Dechhen Lingpa

E MA HO! How marvelous!

The Dharmakaya, Kuntuzangpo; the Buddha of the Sixth Family, Vajradhara; %

The Teacher, Vajrasattva; the Transcendent and Accomplished King of the Shakyas; %

The Lord Protector, Amitayus; and Avalokiteshvara; %

I supplicate Padma, inseparable from them all. %

The essence of your exalted form is Manjushri Yamantaka; %

The essence of your noble speech is the incredibly powerful Hayagriva; %

The essence of your awakened mind is Yangdag Heruka; %

I supplicate Padma, the Wish-Fulfilling Gem. %

The embodiment of the overwhelming brilliance of your positive qualities is Chhe Chhog Heruka; %

The embodiment of your enlightened activity is the exalted form of Vajrakumara; %

As Ngondzog Gyalpo, you are the chief of the mamos and dakinis: %

I supplicate the great and resplendent
T’hod T’hreng Tsal. %

In the basic space of your exalted form is the dimension of the magical display of the peaceful and wrathful deities. %

The melodious sound of your noble speech is suffused with the Twelve Branches of the Buddha’s Teachings. %

The enlightened intent of your awakened mind is unobstructed and penetrating, permeating everything. %

I supplicate the Lord Chief of the Dakinis. %

You prophesied the coming of your emanation-regents, concealed terma as representatives of your noble speech, directed the enlightened intent of your awakened mind towards your children with fortunate karma, %

And left your legacy with the entire Tibetan nation: %

I supplicate the Gracious Nirmanakaya. %

I remember your kindness, Guru Rinpoche. %

I pray that you honor your sacred commitment to guide us with your enlightened intent. %

In these bad times, there is no hope for us other than you. %

Please look upon us with compassion, Nirmanakaya of Orgyen. %

Turn back the disturbances and strife of these dark times with your force, skill, and power. %

Please confer blessings, pristine wakefulness, and unexcelled empowerments. %

Vitalize the dynamic strength of our meditative experience and realization. %

Suffuse us totally with the power and skill to benefit the Teachings and beings, %

And help bring us to the accomplishment of buddhahood in a single lifetime! %
