Peerless master! I offer you my three doors;
With your compassionate wisdom
Please stare, gaze and behold
To enlighten me.
Rinpoche! I’m calling from afar
But from the pith of my heart.
I’m here in thy paradise
But nowhere could I see thee.
Drawing a portrait in the core of my heart
To mine my deep enthusiasm;
Guide my spirit to luminosity
And tune my thought with thy blessings.
Oh! Come once in my gleaming dream
And bestow thy heart teachings.
Tears roll down and my heart sinks,
Ah! How gloomy are the days without you!
I seek and strive to blaze so much in life,
Nevertheless, certainty is that you are always by me;
Oh Guru! Descend, instruct and guide me.
I thirst to listen to your eloquent teachings.
Always I remember your noble words,
But barely can I see you anywhere.
I feel your compassion everywhere,
But I can see you in person nowhere.
Can’t you feel the ominous whispers
Of a broken and destitute soul
Weeping tears in solitude.
Alas! Grant us the greatest blessing.
Though beauteous birds chirp and hover blissfully,
And pious cripples circumambulate diligently,
Still your elegant palace looks impaired;
So emerge soon to replenish what is incomplete.
On whom can I rely the most,
If compassionate ones like you delay?
Who will lighten the dire sufferings,
If the sun of your wisdom sets?
For the tremendous steps you’ve made,
For insane and ignorant beings like me,
Your kindness is beyond limitation to repay.
Oh Rinpoche! Behold me until the pristine state of my mind is reached.
