Background
A description of the experience
Please guide all beings from this swamp of cyclic existence!
Let your Brahma voice reverberate like a thousand peals of thunder!
open [wide] the portals to the treasury of your buddha-mind!
Pour out the light rays of your discriminative awareness and compassion!
Please guide all beings from this swamp of cyclic existence!
Liberate now, without exception, all beings of this final eral
Anoint [us] now with the river of the four pure empowerments!
Liberate now the four continua, bewildered by dissonant mental states!
Please guide all beings from this swamp of cyclic existence!
Grant now the fruitional attainment of the four buddha-bodies
of Those Gone to Bliss!
