PRAISING THE LORD OF WISDOM


Obeisance to the Divine Protecting Lord and Teacher Manjushri,
 
Whose Wisdom shineth forth gloriously, free from the two-fold mental gloom – like the sun free from clouds,
 
Bearing the sacred volume against his heart to symbolize His perfect knowledge of all Truth in its very reality.
 
Regarding those who are still in the captivity of the ocean of existence, enveloped in ignorance and its attendant suffering,
 
As a mother does her only son, and calling on them with his divinely sweet voice possessing the sixty vocal perfections,
 
The deep thrilling and thunder – like resonance of which arouses them from the deep sleep of ignorance and frees them from the fetters of Karma,
 
Bearing the Sword of Wisdom for cutting the weeds of suffering and lighting up the gloom of ignorance.
 
Pure from all Eternity, endowed with divine attributes of those who have passed beyond the ten degrees of 
 
Perfections, O, Thou, chief amongst royal princes,
 
O, Thou, dispeller of the gloom of my heart, adorned with the hundred and twelve beautifying ornaments, obeisance to Thee.
 
Let the radiance and glory of thy Wisdom, O, Loving One,
 
Dispel the sloth and gloom of my heart.
 
Graciously bestow on me the light of courage and intellect,
 
That I may understand the sacred words and scriptures alright.

Jitsun Jampelyang - the Lord of Wisdom, it is time that you give me all your blessings!
Ugyen Guru Rimpoche - An extraordinary man from Swat Valley, don't leave me alone even a minute.
