The Brief Mahayana Sutra of the Great Blissful Buddhafield

Hri

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
No one exists who is not sublime
The names of samsara and the six realms do not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
By emanating of sublime wisdom light
The names of day and night do not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
Fully decorated with all kinds of jewels
The names of earth and stone do not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
There is the fragrance of the incense of Vairotsana
The name of worldly air does not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
Fully decorated with enlightenment trees
The names of grass, trees, or forests do not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
Eating the food of Samadhi
The name of worldly food does not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
All is dwelling in great equanimity
The names of lower realms or precipices do not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
The Dharma King Himself is there
The names of worldly kings and ministers do not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
The water of amrita possessing the eight qualities flows
The name of worldly water does not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
The fire of clear, supreme wisdom burns
The name of worldly fire does not exist
May we be borne in the pureland of Infinite Appearance

In the Buddhafield of Infinite Appearance
All who take birth are miraculously born
The names of birth and living do not exist
May we be born in the pureland of Infinite Appearance


This prayer was spoken by Dharmakaya Infinite Appearance Himself. It is called the Description of the Great Blissful Buddhafield of the Mahayana tradition.

Whoever writes this prayer in gold will be born for one hundred thousand kalpas in the Great Blissful Buddhafield.

Whoever writes this prayer in silver will be born for one thousand kalpas in the Great Blissful Buddha field.

Whoever writes this prayer in vermillion will be born for one hundred kalpas in the Great Blissful Buddhafield.

It is said that it is the nectar of Dharma, the essence of absolute truth. It is the king of confession. It will purify the sins of killing a hundred human beings, a hundred horses, a hundred snakes, a hundred dogs, a hundred cows, a hundred fish, a hundred pigs, a hundred calves, and so on. It also purifies the sins of breaking oaths, poisoning, tricking, breaking vows, killing teachers and the ten non-virtuous actions. Whatever you have done, by writing this or praying this, it will be purified. If sinful persons read this prayer thrice, there is no doubt that they will be reborn in the Great Blissful Buddhafield. Whoever reads, writes or keeps this prayer will not have illness or untimely death. Their wishes will be fulfilled and they will have prosperity.

Translated by Bhakha Tulku Pema Tensing Rinpoche and Pat Roddy.

Prayer to Manjushri


Prayer to Manjushri

Auspicious unchanging Three Jewels
From whom good fortune arises and emanates,
The Sublime and appropriate refuge.
Manjushri is endowed with the most glorious qualities.
Although, in accordance with the perceptions of beings of all directions and times,
You perform Your magical dance display,
There is not objective reality to be found.
I bow down to You!

Among the peaceful deities, You are the mst peaceful.
Most gentle and glorious, free from distress,
All-embracing form of the Great Compassionate One,
Youthful emanation with myriad forms.
I bow down to You!

Among the wrathful, You are the most wrathful.
All-destroying Yamaraja,
You devour samsara and nirvana. (transforming them into)
Dharmadhatu.
Great enemy of time (of the inevitability of death),
I bow down to You!
