Nyirtoe - Prayer written by H.H. Yongzin Trijang Rinpoche
« on: November 24, 2013, 11:56:47 PM »
Excerpt from a prayer by HH Trijang Rinpoche:

We honour you with the first part of food and drink;
We fulfill all that you want.
I am calling you from my heart;
Lend me your ear.

I practice you all the time;
Show me sign that I have succeeded.
Protect the command and the Teaching;
Show me your smiling face.

Be the war god in my protection;
Be my messenger and servant.
Be the fort of my protection;
Be the storekeeper of my people and possessions.

Be the day’s bodyguard;
Be the night’s watchman.
Be the cloak on my back;
Be my staff in the front.

Be the bridge over water,
And stairs on the rock.
Be those who see me off;
Be those welcoming me.

Raise me if I fall;
If I forget, remind me.
Be the doctor when I fall sick;
If poisoned, give me potent remedy.
For me, raise banners on the high points;
Blow conch-shell in cities.


This beautiful prayer was written in 1959 but it is still very much relevant to Shugden practitioners.

In fact the prayer is even more important today, now that the struggle of Shugden practitioners has caught attention of the CTA and showing their weary of the supports showed to Shugden practitioners.

If we want the ban to be lifted sooner, the practitioners should keep samaya strong and have strong undivided faith in Dorje Shugden.

All prayers to the great Lord is all very relevant to all of us no matter when the prayers are written. I always think that all the prayers can always say how we feel during the different times. It is really amazing how high lamas can write things like that is so relevant to all of us no matter which time period we are in and which time period the prayer or teaching is written.
