Om svasti

With an expression of the highest esteem, I bow to
Ãdi Buddha, Amitābha, Tschenresig,
Sançye Menla, Śãkyamuni – 
to all the buddhas of the three ages and
of the infinite worlds in the ten directions/quarters.

Mañjuśrī, Samantabhadra, Vajrasattva, Taras,
Sarasvati, Guru Rinpoche –
to all the bodhisattvas of the three ages and
of the infinite worlds in the ten directions/quarters.

My particular esteem belongs to
Vajradhara, Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa,
Milarepa, Gampopa,  Karmapa.

With all advisors and good and wise who aid me
By explaining Samantabhadra's deeds,
I vow always to congregate together:
May they never be displeased with me
                                                Avatamsaka-Sutra

I pay joyful homage in body, word, and spirit

most of all to my main lama, His Holiness the SeventeenthGyalwa Karmapa Trinle Thaye Dorje – may I in all my incarnations never be separated from his shining influence;

His Holiness the Fourteenth Shamarpa Künzig Shamar Rinpoche Miphan Chökyi Lodrö – may his great workings, which allow the hearts of all beings to grow in an instant to be able to perform previously undreamt of deeds, never end;

Grand Master Choa Kok Sui – who in a unique way understands how to openly and clearly impart profound tantric, energetic, and spiritual knowledge to all beings – let his knowledge be available, untarnished and uncorrupted, for all time, for all people, and for the use of all creatures;

Lama Dagri Rinpoche – his humour-filled and loving guidance are a constant motivation not to dally on the way towards working for the well-being of all beings – may I be close to his joyful spirit in all of my lives;

Lama Mipham Rinpoche of Dzakhog – his profound wisdom and his powerful presence are a constant magnet for my affection – let his workings for the well-being of all creatures continue unabated for all eternity;

His Eminence hokling Orgyen Jigme Palden Rinpoche – his penetrating strength and power to impart enlightening wisdom, even in the areas of darkest ignorance, are motivation to practise daily in order to attain the ability to bring forth (both types of) bodhicitta – let his workings continue to bring light into an infinite number of lives;

Samarpan – his work outside of any confession and his conveyance of how to live spiritually authentically in ordinary life awakens boundless joy and peace deep inside; knowing of his existence fills every moment with a happy cheerfulness – may an infinite number of beings experience their true selves by his example;

and my special reverence goes to
Lama Khenpo Tenphel Chödrag Rinpoche – his joyful disposition is only surmounted by his profound wisdom, which borders on omniscience; I offer a special THANKS for all of the marvellous instructions I have received, which always illuminate anew my “horizon of knowledge” and thus truly expands it – may I meet teachers in all of my lives who have at least his insight into the nature of phenomena and have no fewer means and methods at their disposal with which to present this knowledge; 


I thank all the the Great Enlightened Ones, all the buddhas, all the bodhisattvas, and all the spiritual teachers, gurus, lamas, śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, arhats, and protectors for their help, guidance, and protection!
