A Prayer for Long Life for His Holiness Trulku Jigme Choedrak — the 70th Je Khenpo of Bhutan
A prayer for the long life of His Holiness the 70th Je Khenpo, composed by the 68th Je Khenpo Yönten Ö.
OM SVASTI
Born from the ocean of compassion of all the Victorious Ones,
With the thousand rays of the autumn moon of your three secret activities,
You cause the hundred-petalled night lotus of the Sage’s teaching to bloom —
Ngawang Jigme Choedrak, may you live long!
The essence of the profound and vast Dharma of sutra and mantra,
The sweet nectar of the ripening and liberating instructions of generation and completion,
You who share it with the swarm of fortunate bees —
Ngawang Jigme Choedrak, may you live long!
By the power of the truth of these supplications and aspirations,
O Protector, as the crown ornament of the teachings and of beings,
With your feet unmoving on the vajra throne,
Please remain for a hundred aeons, turning the wheel of Dharma.
Written by His Holiness the 68th Je Khenpo Jetsun Tenzin Doendrup (Yonten Oe)
