Supplication to Patriarch Mandarava
Yutang Lin
Early in life realized vanity of worldly glories and renounced it to practice Dharma;
Wondrous mother patriarch Mandarava, lead us onto the enlightenment path!
Wise mind capable of comprehended the original purity of the Path of Greed;
Wondrous mother patriarch Mandarava, open our eyes to recognize the Dharma!
Supernatural powers capable of working at ease and at will under all circumstances;
Wondrous mother patriarch Mandarava, let all sentient beings take refuge in Guru!
Renounced all worldly ways and engaged in austere practices to attain ultimate fruits;
Wondrous mother patriarch Mandarava, help us to achieve full enlightenment sooner!
Liberated beings from sufferings in Samsara until they had unified joy and Blank Essence;
Wondrous mother patriarch Mandarava, constantly protect and guide us on the path!
The Six Doctrines of Niguma bestowed boundless and eternal blessings to all beings;
Wondrous mother patriarch Mandarava, grant us the Buddha fruit of deathlessness!
