A
Light Offering Prayer
I
consider that this lamp is made of the finest precious metal, And
is as vast as the entire billionfold universe.
It
is filled completely with the finest essence of butter,
And
in its centre is planted a wick as large as Mount Meru. Its
flame is alight and has the nature of the five wisdoms; In
appearance, it blazes with the dazzling splendour of a billion suns, Its
light pervading everywhere throughout all the realms of the ten directions. Out
of this radiant expanse, appear vast clouds of offerings like Samantabhadra’s, To
make gifts throughout all eternity, until the very ends of time, So
that the objects of our prayers, be they living or dead, Gather
the two accumulations, purify the two kinds of obscuration, And
swiftly attain unsurpassable awakening.
This
was composed by Gatön Vāgindra.
