"Four Line Supplication"
Tsurphu, Tibet (1993)
"Having reached the age of nine years, this was written during the festival of Saga Dawa of the Water-bird year of the 17th Rabjung (I993) at the Dharma Palace of Tsur Dowo Lung."
- - - - - - -
by His Holiness The Seventeenth Karmapa

 

      Unequaled son of Shuddhodhana,
           foremost among human beings,
      Guru Padmakara, a second Buddha,
      Düsum Kyenpa, founder of the teaching
           tradition of the Practice Lineage,
      I supplicate you: grant your blessings.
       

Having reached the age of nine years, this was written during the festival of Saga Dawa of the Water-bird year of the 17th Rabjung (I993) at the Dharma Palace of Tsur Dowo Lung. By the one blessed by having received the name Buddha Karmapa, and called Pal Khyabdak Rangjung Ugyen Gyalwae Nyugu Trinley Dorje Tsal Choklé Nampar Gyalwae Dé.  May this be virtuous.

Translated by The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and Martin Marvet.
