May all those sentient beings take rebirth in a happy migration and be able to have a long limitless life span. May these long lives always be happy, and the sound of death never ring. May all directions be filled with groves of wishfulfilling trees, full with buddhas and bodhisattvas proclaiming the melodious sound of dharma. May the ground everywhere be lush1According to the Ven Geshe Doga, sa tsa-go chen refers to ground that is parched from

extreme heat, so here it refers to the opposite., pure and smooth, without stones, thorns or pebbles, smooth like the nature of lapis lazuli, similar to the palm of one’s hand.
