The Kagyu Prayer
Great Vajradhara, Tilo, Naro,
Marpa, Mila, Lord of Dharma Gampopa,
Dusum Chenpa, totally aware Karmapa,
Holders of the four great and lesser lineages,
Masters of the profound path of Mahamudra,
Incomparable protectors of beings, the Dakpo Kagyu,
I supplicate you, the Kagyu Gurus, I hold your lineage,
Grange the grace of complete freedom
The habitual ways are sour and bitter
We see they are fruit of their seed
They drive us into prayer and meditation,
and escape from ease and money and power and place
Your generosity is our door to prayer and mediation
Your holy grace opens those instructions
We are led by you into freedom
May we return a shadow of your grace and generosity
We rest all movement of mind in meditation
Fresh and open, without work
No beginning, no end, nothing to change
Grant us now this grace of no effort
Our thoughts arise with the play of life,
Nothing in themselves, arising as the full display
Heaven and Earth are dissolved in meditation
leaving us to know the grace of union and freedom
Revised Kagyu Prayer 11.25.2011
