A SORROWFUL SONG TO PALDEN LHAMO (By His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama)
BHYOH,
Expanse of great bliss, all-pervading, free from elaborations: with either angry
or desirous forms, related to those to be subdued.
You overpower the whole
apparent world -samsara and nirvana.
Sole Mother, Lady victorious over the
three worlds, please pay attention here and now!
During numberless eons, by
relying upon and accustoming Yourself to the extensive conduct of the
Bodhisattvas - which others find difficult to follow -,
You obtained the
power of the sublime Vajra Enlightenment.
Loving Mother, You watch and don't
miss the (right) time.
The winds of conceptuality dissolve into space.
Vajra-dance of the mind which produces all the animate and inanimate world,
as the sole friend yielding the pleasures of existence and peace.
Having
conquered them all, You are well praised as the Triumphant Mother.
By
heroically guarding the Dharma and Dharma-holders, with the four types of
actions, flashing like lightning,
You soar up openly, like the full moon in
the midst of a garland of powerful Dharma Protectors.
When, from the
troublesome nature of this most degen- erated time, the hosts of evil omens -
desire, anger, deceit - increasingly rise, even then your power is unimpeded,
sharp, swift and limitless:
How wonderful! Longingly remembering You, o
Goddess from my heart, I confessed my broken vows and satisfied all your
pleasures.
Having enthroned You as the supreme Protector, greatest amongst
the great, accomplish your appointed tasks with unflinching energy!
Fierce
protecting deities and your retinues, who, in accordance with the instructions
of the supreme Siddha, the Lotus-born Vajra, and by the power of karma and
prayers, have a close connection as Guardians of Tibet, heighten your majesty
and increase your powers!
All beings in the country of Tibet, although
destroyed by the enemy and tormented by unbearable suffering, abide in the
constant hope of glorious freedom.
How could they bear to not be given your
compassionate hand?
Thus, please come forth to face the great murderers, the
malevolent enemy.
O Lady who performs the actions of war and weapons;
Dakini, I summon You with this sorrowful song: The time has come to bring forth
your skill and power.
