'Root Verse' for the Bardo of Dying by Padmasambhava
༈ ཀྱེ་མ་བདག་ལ་འཆི་ཁ་བར་དོ་འཆར་དུས་འདིར༔
ཀུན་ལ་ཆགས་སེམས་ཞེན་འཛིན་སྤངས་བྱས་ལ༔
གདམས་ངག་གསལ་བའི་ལམ་ལ་མ་གཡེང་འཇུག༔
རང་རིག་སྐྱེ་མེད་ནམ་མཁའི་དབྱིངས་སུ་འཕང༔
འདུས་བྱས་ཤ་ཁྲག་ལུས་དང་བྲལ་ལ་ཁད༔
མི་རྟག་སྒྱུ་མ་ཡིན་པར་ཤེས་པར་བྱ༔
Now when the bardo of dying dawns upon me,
I will abandon all grasping, yearning, and attachment,
Enter undistracted into clear awareness of the teaching,
And eject my consciousness into the space of unborn rigpa;
As I leave this compound body of flesh and blood
I will know it to be a transitory illusion.
Alternative Translations
bardo of death
