Praise to Guru Rinpoche
Buddha lights bestowed on a large lotus
To save all beings appeared there a boy
Established as prince, the country became prosperous
Through committing sinful acts to obtain renunciation
Learned in all sorts of knowledge and practiced Dharma
Lived in cemeteries, showed miraculous transformations
Tamed evil beings and cultivated Dakinis on the path
Roaming everywhere to spread teachings wide and far
Upon request entered Tibet to establish the first monastery
The root and source of Buddhist Tantra thereby established
Transmitted Tantras in Mandala to twenty-five disciples
Red-robed and white-clothed ones continued the lineages
Essential Sutras and Tantras selected to translate into Tibetan
Dharma treasures thus gathered and stored in snow country
Great Perfection teachings based on original purity of all things
Concealed in Earth, Space and Mind Hidden Treasures
Rainbow body of death-free nature appeared as occasions called for
Disciples of meritorious conditions are all blessed by your compassion
