Diamond Bridge- to the fortunate shore of loving-kindness



EH MA HO
From stillness born of equanimity
Like an infinite river into a stainless sky
Ever-present deities spontaneously appear
Displaying numberless aspects of compassion
Uniquely appropriate to each being
Dissolving obstacles to inherent benefit
According to individual circumstances
Reminding us that here we are never separate
From naturally arising perfection
I pray that I and all beings of the six realms
Self-recognize the inseparability
Of mind and the play of primordial wisdom
Along the shores of loving-kindness
Neither embracing nor rejecting the ocean of suffering
Awareness and emptiness liberate themselves
Making boundaries unnecessary

  1. may all the holy lamas
    of all the lineages and traditions
    have their lives and influence increase
    may all those not presently with us
    quickly take human birth
    so that the holy dharma may spread
    unto the ends of the earth
    may any merit generated
    from this and other practices
    as well as any other merit
    generated from any other action
    of body, speech or mind
    become a seed for the enlightenment
    of all beings
    through this merit
    may all beings achieve enlightenment
    through the inconceivable and incalculable
    blessing and merit
    of the three jewels
    and the three roots
    and especially my kind root lama
    may I also come to achieve enlightenment
    for the benefit of all beings

  4. By the way... in answer to the person who asked about authorship... yes, I wrote this, although I really want to say it wrote itself, because that is closer to what happened.
