Timeless Rapture: Inspired Verse from the Shangpa Masters

372 Timeless Rapture
The sublime leader of the Victor’s entire doctrine in the Himalayan
region,
Tenzin Gyatso, gave you profound and secret instructions.
Doing as he commanded, you imparted to many holy persons
Empowerments, instruction, and profound guidance; to you I pray.
Moreover, to many incarnate masters and great individuals,
You offered instructions that led to spiritual maturity and liberation.
You created a prodigious wave of activity to serve the doctrine
impartially.
Sun of the Victor’s Teaching, to you I pray.
You offered unlimited respectful service to the doctrine of scripture
and realization.
At major sacred sites, you made a full measure of offerings and
positive aspirations.
You founded retreat centers for hundreds of members of the Spiritual
Community.
Lamp of the doctrine, to you I pray.
Everywhere around Land of Jambu and in adjacent lands,
Among fortunate disciples of different races and languages,
You arrived like a swan landing upon a lake of lotus flowers.
You brought individuals to spiritual maturity and liberation; to you
I pray.
You flew to all major continents through the sky’s expanse,
And led men and women of different races and languages
To the realm of Bodhisattva Great Compassion’s disciples.
Unmistaken guide on the excellent path, to you I pray.
You sent disciples, holders of the doctrine, in one hundred directions,
To raise the great banner of the ten virtues’ ethical conduct to its
highest point.
You spread spiritual cultivation and purification throughout the
world.
Sun of the Victor’s doctrine, to you I pray.
