“You speak well from experience of reality, And those who train themselves under You, Go far beyond every kind of trouble, Having abandoned the root of all evil. But those who turn their backs on Your Teaching, Though they have struggled for a long time, Decry many faults once outside again, Because of a firm conviction about the self. O wonder! The wise one understands the difference Between following and not following Your Teaching. Then how could he fail to feel most deeply Great respect for You (and Your Teaching)? What need is then to mention Your many Teachings? To find even a rough, general certainty About the precise meaning of every small part Confers, even that the supreme Happiness! Alas, as my mind is conquered by delusions, Though came from far to refuge In Your mass of such good qualities, And I found not even a fraction of such excellence. Yet, when I confront the Lord of death, And the stream of life has not quite ceased, I will consider myself most highly fortunate To have even the slightest faith in You! Among teachers, the Teacher of relativity, Among wisdoms, the wisdom of relativity; These are like Imperial Victors in the world, Making You World Champion of Wisdom, over all. Whatever You ever taught Is penetrated through relativity, And since that leads unto Nirvana, No deed of Yours does not bring peace. Yea! Whoever hears Your Doctrine, Everything becomes peaceful for them; So, who is there who does not respect The upholders of Your Doctrine? My enthusiasm ever grows for this system, Which overcomes all sorts of opposition, Is free from any internal contradictions, And brings fulfilment of humanity’s two goals. For the sake of this, You gave away Again and again, during innumerable aeons, Sometimes body, other times life, Loved ones, and great wealth of possessions. When I see such excellence of Yours, I see that Your great heart brings forth the Teaching, What a sorry fate not to hear it from You! But even with the force of that sorrow, I will not let my mind waver (from the Teaching), As the mind of the mother Always goes after her beloved child. And even when I think upon Your speech, Thinking ‘That Teacher, surrounded completely With nets of light-rays, blazing with the glory Of the auspicious signs and marks, Spoke in this way with His Brahma-voice!’ Then the image of great Shakyamuni Just dawning in mind, heals me well, As moon rays heal the pains of fever.” “Dispelling the darkness of the extremist heart, Eclipsing the constellations of false teachings; And then and there, My mind attained relief at last! Of all deeds, speech is supreme. And for this very reason, experts Commemorate the Buddhas For this (highest Teaching). I renounced the world on the example of that Teacher, My study of the Victor's speech is not inferior, I am a Buddhist monk, energetic in yoga-practice; And such is my respect for that great Seer! By the Guru's kindness, I was able thus to meet The Teaching of the Unexcelled Teacher. And I dedicate this virtue as a cause of all beings' Being looked after by the holy Spiritual Teachers.” “May the Teaching of that Benefactor, till world's end, Be undisturbed by the winds of wrong prejudices, And, finding faith in the Teacher by understanding The natural way of the Teaching, may it ever increase! May I uphold the good system of the Muni That illumines the real fact of relativity Through all my lives, though I give up body and even life! And may I never let go of it even for an instant! May I spend all day and night reflecting On the methods to propagate this (Teaching), Achieved by that best Leader through boundless hardships, By making strenuous efforts the essence (of His lives!) As I strive in this way with pure high resolve, May Brahma, Indra, and the World-protectors, And Mahakala and the other Dharma-protectors, Always befriend me without fail!”
