Download Ven. Paltul Rinpoche's longevity supplicationBy subduing the evil forces (maras) with his Vajra-body,
He becomes refuge for all sentient beings until Samsara remains intact.
Due to the power of Buddha Amitabha, the momentary Lord of the joyful, pure realms,
May all the wishing prayers come true without any hindrances.
For him the samsaric pleasures and wealth are like poisoned food;
He permanently holds the precious Bodhicitta in the focus of his enlightened mind.
He is approaching the yoga of the path of the two stages (developmental and completion phase).
May this outstanding holder of the teachings live forever among us.
While, according to the capacity, the impact and the aspirations of his being,
The stages of the path towards higher rebirths and liberation,
In different languages (verbal expressions) he adequately and skillfully instructs,
May the realm of the sentient beings be filled with individuals who are to be tamed (disciples).
