14th Kunzig Shamarpa Mipham Chokyi Lodro (Photo: Thule Jug)
Homage to the Lama, the perfect teacher of the Buddha’s teachings. Emanation of the three protectors Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri and Vajrapani, the magnificent one who guides living beings, the master who teches both the Buddhist scriptures and meditation, Shamarpa, may you stay until the end of cyclic existence!
You have through the power of cultivating the two accumulations during numerous eons perfected the qualities of the ten bodhisattva levels and five paths. Emanation of the Buddha of Limitless Light, Shamarpa, may you stay until the end of cyclic existence!
By the power of the truth of the three roots and the long life Buddhas, you have completely defeated the many misleading influences and hindrances with regard to every student’s physical well-being and mental capacity. Shamarpa may you always be accompanies by the protector Mahakala!
Composed by H.H. the 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje
