Infallible Three Jewels and supreme yidam
Lord of Compassion, protector Avalokiteshvara
Think of me, weak and pitiful, with loving compassion
And bear witness to the accomplishment of this vast prayer.

Long ago during the time of Buddha Chubeb
He recited the name of the bliss-gone one and liberated fish;
Likewise may I, with the rain of Dharma,
Relive animals that are powerlessly suffering.

Some have no protector and no place to dwell,
Stricken with fear of being helplessly devoured by another
these animals, tormented by agonizing misery,
May I relieve them with the rain of Dharma.

When they divest themselves of their present bodies,
May they avoid the lower realms
And attain the supreme happiness of gods and humans,
They they may thus listen to the holy Dharma,
Put it into practice,
And strive to achieve unexcelled Enlightenment.

Oh sublime and precious Bodhicitta,
May it arise in those in whom it has not arisen;
May it never decline where it has arisen,
But go on increasing, further and further!

14. Dedication of Merit

By this virtue, may all beings
Perfect the accumulations of merit and wisdom,
And may they attain the two sacred kayas
Resulting from that merit and wisdom.

SO NAM DI YI TAM CHAY ZIG PA NYID
TOB NAY NYAY PAY DRA NAM PAM CHAY NAY
KYAY GA NA CHI BA LAB TRU PA YI
SID PAY TSO LAY DRO WA DROL WAR SHOG

By this virtue, may all attain Omniscience.
Having defeated the enemy of wrong doing,
From the stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death,
From the ocean of samsara, may I free all beings.

JAM PEL PA WO JI TAR KYEN PA DANG
KUN TU SANGPO DAY YANG DE SHIN TAY

Wise like glorious Manjushri
And like Samantabhadra;
So that I may learn by following them
I completely dedicate every virtue.
