Prayer to Buddha Amitābha
by the Fifteenth Karmapa, Khakhyab Dorje
O dharmakāya Amitābha, embodiment of all the buddhas,
gyal kun chi zuk chö ku ö ta yé
And protector Avalokiteśvara, manifestation of compassion,
tukjé rang tsal gönpo chenrezik
To these ultimate and supreme sources of refuge, I pray!
kyabné tartuk chok la solwa dep
May I and all beings, my previous mothers, as infinite as space,
dak dang kha nyam ma gen semchen nam
Face no unfavourable conditions, only ever-increasing positivity.
tsé dir midö kyen zhi lek tsok gyé
May we be free from misdeeds and have the eight qualities and ten virtues;
dikdral yönten gyé dang gé chu jor
And, in our future lives, may we travel to the pure realm of Great Bliss!
chimar dechen dakpé zhing du drö
Bless us, so that having attained buddhahood in that physical form,
lü ten dé la chang chub chok tob né
We may become a guide who leads beings from extremes,
ta lé drowa dren la gön khyé dang
And gain strength and power just like yours.
nyampé tu wang tobpar chin gyi lop
Supplicate like this with a one-pointed mind, and recite:
oṃ amitābha hrīḥ
om ami dhewa hrih
Thus, in response to a request from Demchok Lhamo of noble family, the one known as Karmapa put this into writing.
