Summary

Great Diamond Holder; Telo; Nāro;

Marpa; Mila; Dharma Lord Gampopa;

Karmapa, knowing the three times and all cognizables;

Holders of the four major [and] eight minor lineages, the

Dri[kung], Tag[lung], Tsäl[pa], splendid Drugpa, etc.;

Unequalled protector of beings, Dagpo Kagyü,

Who mastered the deep path of mahāmudrā, I invoke you.

Kagyü Lamas, inspire me to hold the lineage,

[Inspire me with your] complete liberation life-stories.

Revulsion is said to be the foot of meditation.

Inspire the dedicated meditator, who has no attachment to food and wealth

and whose ties to this life have been severed,

so that he may have no clinging to gain and esteem.

Devotion is said to be the head of meditation.

Inspire the dedicated meditator, who constantly

invokes the lama ‒ who opens the gate to the treasury of pith instructions ‒

so that unfabricated devotion may arise.

Non-distraction is said to be the actual practice of meditation.

Inspire the dedicated meditator, who settles the fresh nature of

conceptualizations that arise as whatever, unfabricated as it is,

so he is free from the idea of something to meditate on.

The nature of conceptualizations is said to be dharmakāya.

Inspire the dedicated meditator, for whom nothing whatsoever

arising as something arises [in fact] as unhindered play,

so he may recognize the inseparability of saṃsāra [and] nirvāṇa.

In all [future] rebirths, being unseparated from the authentic lama,

rejoicing in the abundance of dharma, and

having perfected the qualities of the stages and the path,

may I quickly attain the level of Diamond Holder.
