The Prayer of Liberating Light
trasani pratihana pratihana sarva karma pa-rampara nime sarva sato nanyatsa swaha mantra of vajrapani om vajra chandra maha roshana hum phat,om aprati hata vala hum phat,sarva bhiganan antaraya vinashkara maraya hum phat.
conclusion
The whole of existence is perceived as filled with the five wisdom lights; the luminous radiance of the fearless wisdom, love, and compassion of the Buddhas of all times and directions.We speak directly to the liberated minds of the deceased beings and we remind them that all phenomena are illusory, including our concept of living and dying. We remind the Buddhists Among them to think of Buddha Amitabha, who will bring whoever prays to him directly to the Pure Land.
The practice ends with a dedication of merit and recitation of a concluding prayer: I dedicate the merit of this action to the welfare of all sentient beings wandering in sam-sara, enduring sufferings of all kinds. May each and every one be free of wrongdoings and illusions. Following the path to supreme liberation, may they become filled with boundless joy, happiness, and wisdom.May the hail of lava, fiery stones, and weapons Henceforth become a rain of blossoms.May those whose hell it is to fight and wound Be turned to lovers offering their flowers.May forests where the leaves are blades and swords Become sweet groves and pleasant woodland glades.On every side and in all the ten directions,May groves of wish-fulfilling trees abound,Resounding with the sweetness of the Teachings,
Spoken by the Buddhas and their Bodhisattva Children.
choegyal rinpoche’s colophon
May this teaching spread around the whole world so that in these times of war the mind streams of the dead will become free from fearful illusions.By the merit of this teaching and practice, may the loving and compassionate quality of their minds arise with clarity so that they will be re-born in a peaceful world, in heaven, or in Buddhafields.
MANGALAM.
urgyan tenpa rinpoche’s colphon
Every day in this world, delusion leads sentient beings to cause the death of each other, deliberately and by accident. This teaching, which has the power to liberate beings afflicted by the suffering born of such delusion, is dedicated to the welfare of all sentient beings, without exception.May it become for them a cause of happiness.May it never become a cause of sorrow.
