Long Life Prayers to His Holiness the Dalai Lama ~ Celebrating Lord Tenzin Gyatso's 79th birthday

Happy 79th Birthday to His Holiness, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama. We Thank You for Everything You have done for The World. May you and all Tibetans be swiftly reunited in your home land. May Tibet become the home of Dharma Teachings once again, May the Land of Snow become once more the Source of Brilliance, That Radiates the Teachings and Practice of The DHARMA, And dispels darkness all-around, bathing all peoples of the world, All living beings in Peace, Harmony, Happiness and Love, And may it be the cause for all sentient beings to achieve enlightenment, as One, in a single Divine Body. (((OM MANI PEME HUNG))) PRAYERS FOR HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA AND TIBET ~Prayer for the Long Life of HH the Dalai Lama~ In the land encircled by snow mountains You are the source of all happiness and good; All-powerful Chenrezig, Tenzin Gyatso, Please remain until samsara ends. ~Prayer that Spontaneously Fulfills all Wishes~ Savior of the Snow Land Teachings and transmigratory beings, Who extensively clarifies the path that unifies emptiness and compassion, To the Lotus in the Hand, Lord Tenzin Gyatso, I beseech— May all your holy wishes be fulfilled! ~Remembering the Kindness of HH the Dalai Lama and Tibetans~ The object of refuge of myself And of all transmigratory beings In all our lifetimes Is the embodiment of the Three Jewels, The all-encompassing Three Refuges in one: The Guru: the Wish-granting Jewel, His Holiness the Dalai Lama. ~Prayers for His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibet~ The Master: Padmasambhava, The Dharma Kings: Songtsen Gampo and Trisong Detsen, The Abbot: Shantarakshita, And the numberless Holy Beings Who preserved and spread the Buddha Dharma in Tibet; And the Tibetan people who practiced And served Buddhism so faithfully for a thousand years, As well as those who, along with many others, Died sacrificing their lives for Tibet and His Holiness― May all their positive wishes be fulfilled immediately. Due to their limitless kindness, The sun of Tibetan Buddhism has now risen in the West, Which is a dark land. But now that I have met with the Dharma, I have received the perfect human body Enabling me to lead a meaningful life. Our Refuge and Savior, the Supreme One: His Holiness the Dalai Lama And the Tibetan people have been so kind to us! Remembering this we make the following dedicating prayers: May all His Holiness the Dalai Lama's wishes be successful immediately; May the Snow Land of Tibet achieve pure freedom And develop the Buddha Dharma even more than before in Tibet; And may all mother transmigratory beings achieve enlightenment quickly! ~Prayer for Tibet~ In short, may the good fruit of any extensive prayer to Fully protect the Land of Snows, made by the Powerful Protector Chenrezig In the presence of the Buddhas and their children, Appear soon here and now. ~Prayer for the Long Life of HH the Dalai Lama~ May the nectar-stream of the blessings of the Lotus Holder Always enter our hearts and nourish them with strength. May we please you with offerings of dedicated practice, And may we reach beyond the shores of perfect compassionate deeds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Composed and translated by Lama Zopa Rinpoche on 4 June 2011 in Eaglehawk, Victoria, Australia.
