A short invocation to the lineage through which Patrul Rinpoche received teachings on Śāntideva's Bodhicaryāvatāra, tracing back from his own teachers through the Indian and Tibetan masters to Śāntideva, Mañjuśrī, and the Buddha himself. As well as honouring the transmission, the prayer also serves as an aspiration to take the Bodhicaryāvatāra's central message — the cultivation of bodhicitta and the way of the bodhisattva — to heart. Translated by Adam Pearcey of Lotsawa House.

༄༅། །སྤྱོད་འཇུག་བརྒྱུད་པའི་གསོལ་འདེབས་བཞུགས། །
Supreme guide, teacher of gods and men, chief of the Śākyas,
The bodhisattva Mañjughoṣa, Śāntideva,
Jetāri, Candrakīrti the Lesser,
And lord Guṇaśrī, to you we pray!
Kanakaśrī, Sumatikīrti,
And Yaktruk Sangye Pal,[5] to you we pray!
Lord of siddhas, Pema Rigdzin,[10]
To you we pray, bless us with your compassion!
To you we pray, bless us with your compassion!
Son of the buddhas, Shenpen Thayé,[16]
To all you masters of bodhicitta,
We pray, bless us with your compassion!
In the fertile field of the four boundless qualities,
May the shoots of bodhicitta take root,
Ripening into the excellent fruit of the path of the six pāramitās,
To become the basis of sustenance for beings of the three worlds.
Grant your blessings so that with the wisdom realizing the equality of self and others,
All dualistic clinging to ourselves and objects may be cut right through,
Our own and others’ welfare may be accomplished spontaneously,
And we may perfect the supreme mind of bodhicitta.
This was spoken by the one called Patrul. May virtue abound!
