To the ultimate guru, self-cognizing awareness, from the indivisible union of the three kayas, I bow down.
- Dudjom Rinpoche III Sangye Pema Shepa
At this juncture when the world and its inhabitants near dissolution,
As life forms, snow mountains and continents are degraded
By the excavation and ravaging of elemental resources,
By the polluting fumes of some electricity generation technologies,
And by various contagious diseases, harmful to living beings,
We pray with fervent devotion
To the Lake-born Lord, sole refuge of this degenerate age,
To Avalokiteshvara, most sublime being of compassion,
To Tara, Mother of the Conquerors, who protects from the eight fears,
And to all the ocean-like hosts of the Three Roots and oath-bound protectors:
Do not renege on your compassionate pledges to protect us
(Just by calling your faces to mind)
From disharmony, degradation, and the like,
Caused by engaging in negative actions!
- Dudjom Rinpoche III Sangye Pema Shepa
