Peace for the Soul

A common space for harmonic peacemakers

 

 

 

by Minling Chung Rinpoche (1908-1980)

 

 

Buddha in person, precious guru of Orgyen,

Turn your gaze toward us, tormented by this degenerating time.

Kyema! When you vowed never to abandon the people of Tibet,

How can you break your promise, and turn back on your pledge?

If you say our karma is too powerful and your compassion cannot protect us,

Then where are your great wisdom, love and strength?

There is no other refuge for us but you—so from our hearts we pray:

Show us the full force of your power, with all its unlimited reach,

Protect us in our misfortune

When our wrong views destroy our merit,

Direct the blessing of your wisdom mind right into our hearts,

So that our virtuous habitual tendencies awaken, and through this

Let the countless crises facing the world and its inhabitants be eliminated

And let all be auspicious so that happiness and benefit appear and spread far and wide.

om ah hung bendza guru padma siddhi hung

 

 

This was written in Lhasa by Chung Ngawang Chökyi Drakpa of Omin Orgyen Mindroling on the 4th day of the 6th month of the Water Ox year of the Rabgyal cycle (1973).

 

This translation of Minling Chung Rinpoche’s prayer was made at the request of his nephew, Lodi Gyari Rinpoche, as an offering in memory of his great kindness.
