Fortunate Men and Women
A call to fortunate men and women to receive the jewels at hand — human conduct and divine Dharma, a good ruler and a qualified master, merit, auspicious connection, bodhicitta and aspiration.
Fortunate men and women,
come and receive the jewel!
In this land of highest joy,
the great plain beyond compare,
in the place where jewels are born,
do not say there are no jewels!
Fortunate men and women,
come and receive the jewel!
To win joy and happiness in this life,
the laws of human conduct are the wish-fulfilling jewel;
to win comfort and joy in the life to come,
divine Dharma is the wish-fulfilling jewel.
Fortunate men and women,
come and receive the jewel!
To rule the kingdom by the Dharma,
a good ruler is the wish-fulfilling jewel;
to lead the way to liberation,
the qualified master is the wish-fulfilling jewel.
Fortunate men and women,
come and receive the jewel!
To fulfil all wishes without hindrance,
merit is the wish-fulfilling jewel;
for auspiciousness in abundance,
auspicious connection is the wish-fulfilling jewel.
Fortunate men and women,
come and receive the jewel!
To bring benefit and happiness to self and others,
bodhicitta is the wish-fulfilling jewel;
the root of accomplishing all,
aspiration is the wish-fulfilling jewel.
Fortunate men and women,
come and receive the jewel!
Endowed with karma and fortune,
meritorious men and women,
to the great plain, the land of jewels,
come and receive the jewel!
Composed by His Holiness the 70th Je Khenpo Trulku Jigme Choedrak
