Timeless Rapture: Inspired Verse from the Shangpa Masters

332 Timeless Rapture
Demons’ abodes shook;
Infinite worlds attained meditative states, such as wondrous omens.
You were consort of the awareness woman, and your virtuous signs of
accomplishment
Pervaded everywhere; I bow my head to you.
In Oddiyana, you appear as King of Diligence;
In Damido, as Blissful Protector;
In the pure lands of Lapis Light and Blissful,
As a lord bodhisattva on awakening’s tenth stage; I bow my head to
you.
In essence, you are coemergent Binder of the Net;
In the experience of ordinary persons, in a world called Luminous,
You will attain enlightenment as Transcendent Buddha Circle of
Space.
To these and your other inconceivable miraculous appearances, I bow
my head.
Like Abhayakara-gupta in Land of the Exalted,
There will never be another like you.
You definitely attained the state of the sixth Buddha’s regent.
Unsurpassable Héruka, illustrious lord, spiritual master,
To you I respectfully bow and present clouds of wonderful offerings.
I acknowledge all my faults and rejoice in others’ virtues.
I pray that you turn the wheel of the Teachings and always remain in
this world.
I dedicate all my virtue to the attainment of your state.
May I become similar in every way
To the enlightened body, speech, mind, noble qualities, and activity
of Kunga Nyingpo’s life of freedom.
May I spread to the ten directions your excellent speech of total
victory
And bind all beings in the dakinis’ net.
In this life, the next, and the intermediate state between,
May I not be separated from you even in a dream, Taranata.
