PRAISE TO 1000-ARM AVALOKITESHVARA (CHENREZIG)

Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2009 11:40 pm

OM, I prostrate to the Protector of the world, Guru of the world, praised by the three realms, Chief of gods, praised by Mara and Brahma, by praising You, the supreme King of sages, beings achieve your state.
I prostrate to the sublime Protector of the three worlds.
Your noble body is the bodies of countless Tathagatas,
You are crowned by the Sugata Infinite Light,
You dispel hunger and thirst of pretas with your supremely giving right hand,
And are perfectly adorned with a golden lotus in your left hand.
Your orange coloured garlands of scented hair are radiant,
Beautiful One with a face like a full moon,
You have supremely good and encompassing lotus eyes,
Fragrant One, white like a conch shell or snow.
Wearing clusters of flawless glittering pearls,
adorned by beautiful beams like the red of dawn,
with hands arranged like a lotus lake,
Youthful, You have the colour of autumn clouds.
Both shoulders are adorned by many jewels.
Your palms are soft and young like exquisite leaves.
Your left breast is covered with a deerskin.
You wear ornaments such as beautiful earrings and bracelets.
Standing on a supreme stainless lotus,
Your abdomen's surface is soft like lotus petals,
Your exquisite golden belt is adorned with jewels.
You wear a skirt of fine cloth around your hips.
Having Buddha's supreme knowledge,
You have gone beyond the great ocean.
You achieved the supreme state by collecting vast merit.
Source of continuous joy,
Dispeller of ageing and disease,
Having fully perfected compassion, wisdom and power,
You show enlightened deeds.
Supreme amongst embodied beings,
You won the battle against Mara's forces.
Your feet are attractive with the sound of golden anklets.
Avoiding Brahma's four abodes,
You move with a swan's gait and like a great proud elephant.
Collector of full perfect merit and Caretaker of the Dharma,
You liberate from the ocean of milk and the ocean of water.

Whatever man or woman daily rises at dawn, respectfully directs the mind to Avalokiteshvara, and recites purely and clearly these supreme praises, will have all their worldly and transworldly needs fulfilled, in this life and all future lives.
