Supplication Prayer of Choktrul Rinpoche
On the crown of my head is the vajra seat of lotus
On which you forever abide and never part with.
On the crown of my head is the vajra seat of lotus
On which you forever abide and never part with.
Climbing over a little hill,
I had many stories to tell
Climbing over one mountain,
I gained much experience to share
Appearance itself, if purified, is the glorious Copper-Coloured Mountain.
Frame of mind itself, if realized, is Guru Padmasambhava.
Seized, the wisdom of Rongzom Paṇḍita;
Mastered, the realization of Longchenpa,
All exoteric and esoteric Dharmas;
I, Crazy Choktrul, am free and unfettered.
The great masters, debaters, philosophers, the enlightened ones, those carrying yellow mala beads, and those who clap their hands in debate, all of the above in Tibetan Buddhism who are still breathing,
Just a few months ago, I put forth the “Six Dialectics on Awareness”, but to my chagrin, no one has fully answered my questions.
Why is that the case?
The merits of Bodhicitta,
So wonderful and inconceivable;
How shall one practice Bodhi,
Study Bodhicaryāvatāra in detail.
Attaining the enlightenment of Prajna,
Is one aspect of Bodhicitta;
The five kinds of visions and six supernatural powers,
All derived from Bodhicitta.
Possessing the bliss of Bodhicitta,
Albeit without the fortunes of nagas,
Nor the august power of the Brahma,
One still stands atop of men and devas.
Violate Bodhisattva Vow,
Repentance can clear and pay off;
Golden urn though broken,
Can still be recast.
